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!


Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Your service to Archbishop Chapelle High School and our children is invaluable and greatly appreciated!
