Safe Environment

Protecting God's Children

The Archdiocese of New Orleans has implemented the VIRTUS® Programs as its comprehensive safe environment training platform for adults and children. 

Please read the following instructions in completing the Safe Environment requirements:

Individuals new to Safe Environment, please visit https://www.virtus.org and click on FIRST-TIME REGISTRANT:

It is up to each volunteer to register, fulfill training requirements, and order a background check as necessary. 

Volunteers may contact Ms. Pam Kennedy at 504-467-3105 or pkennedy@archbishopchapelle.org. We are here to help!
