“Protecting God’s Children” is a program developed by The National Catholic Risk Retention Group (TNCRRG) at the request of Monsignor Kevin McCoy, past board chairman of TNCRRG. ‘VIRTUS’ is a series of training programs whose name is derived from the Latin word that means valor, moral strength, excellence and worth. The initial awareness training is a 3-4 hour session consisting of video presentations and discussions facilitated by trained volunteers and Diocesan staff. The training is extended for selected employees and volunteers through the use of Internet training bulletins.
