Safe Environment

The Diocese of Fort Worth requires that each person who serves the Church or any of the organizations in the Church attend a Diocesen Virtus Safe Environment Awareness Session. The purpose of the session is to help the people of the church become the eyes and ears of the community to make sure we are doing everything we can to keep our whole community safe from any forms of abuse

To serve in an organization or ministry in the church each person is required to:

• Register with Virtus (new ministers will need to provide references) 
• Agree to follow the Code of Conduct for the Diocese of Fort Worth
• Have a background check (every 4 years)
• Attend a Virtus Safe Environment Awareness Session (every 2 years) 

All Volunteers at Holy Redeember must complete a Virtus safe environment awareness classroom session prior to starting their volunteer work. To sign up for these sessions go to https://fwdioc.org/training-sessions and choose from one of the options below.
