St. Vincent de Paul Church
Faith Formation

We are protecting God’s children….

          Each catechist is required to have a background check and attend a VIRTUS program.   VIRTUS is a program designed to help prevent “wrong doing” and promote “right doing” with religious organizations.  This program empowers organizations and people to better control risk and improve lives of all those who interact with the Church.
