The Diocese of Reno requires all lay people, paid and/or volunteers, to participate in the Protecting God's Children program.  Even though the ministry you choose does not include children under the age of 17 years, you will encounter them during your time at St. Rose.  They are everywhere!  This program is to heighten your awareness and just to be cognizant of your surroundings when children are present.

Workshops are available throughout the diocese at various parishes, including workshops at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School, which is conveniently located next door to St. Rose!  The onsite workshop by a certified trainer takes about 3 hours and then it is required to complete 24 online training bulletins and a            re-certification training course via the VIRTUS Online™ system, at your convenience, but within a reasonable amount of time. If you do not have access to a computer, the bulletins can be mailed to you.

The dates, times of the workshops, plus more information is available at the Diocese of Reno's webpage, Safe Enviorment.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our parish rep, Lydia Aberasturi at 775-850-2535 or DRE@strosereno.com.
