VIRTUS Online - EIM

Protecting God's Children

VIRTUS is the brand name that identifies best practices designed to help promote "rightdoing" within religious organizations. The VIRTUS programs empower organizations and people to better control risk and improve the lives of all those who interact with the Church. Any volunteer or employee of the parish must receive and maintain compliance.
