Father Dat would like ALL MINISTERS at
St. Faustina Catholic Church to receive Virtus Training.The VIRTUS programs empower organizations and people to better control risk and improve the lives of all those who interact with the Church.
Veteran catechists are Virtus trained in order to teach in the catechism program.
However, many of the ministries at St. Faustina Church also deal with our young people and
it would be good for all our ministers to be trained.
