Please follow these steps for NEW volunteers:
1. Go to www.virtus.org
and click on the link for "registration". Begin the registration process and choose "Washington, DC (Archdiocese)". Please note that the name on your account must match the legal name on your ID documents.
2. Create a username and password and register to complete the online child protection training. Please choose "Mary of Nazareth School" as your location. During the online registration, please read the Pastoral Code of Conduct
and Contact with Minors.
3. Email to Mrs. Wray (mwray@maryofnazareth.org) the completed volunteer application
and 2 forms of government-issued ID - driver’s license, passport, birth certificate, social security card, government employment ID (military ID’s and CAC cards are not accepted). Once those have been received, Mrs. Wray will email you the necessary Archdiocesan fingerprint authorization form.
4. Schedule an appointment with any authorized fingerprint provider (see list of providers HERE). You must bring valid, government-issued ID to the appointment. Please send a copy of your receipt to the office so we may follow up with the Archdiocese if necessary.
5. Once you have completed the online training, please sign page 56 of the green Child Protection Policy booklet (link HERE
- page 56, Acknowledgement - Appendix E). Please complete the bottom section, “Employee/Volunteer”, and email or deliver this page to Mrs. Wray in the office. Your position is “volunteer”.
6. When you have completed all requirements and your fingerprint results have been posted to your VIRTUS account, you will be cleared to volunteer.
Individuals will be personally responsible for the costs (estimated to be approximately $40-$60 per person) associated with the fingerprinting process.
All volunteers must be fingerprinted under these requirements, even if you have been previously fingerprinted for another company or position.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Wray at mwray@maryofnazareth.org
