Discipleship Requirements

Many of our parish activities and organizations--especially those which involve youth and vulnerable individuals--require VIRTUS Training. If you have yet to complete your training and verification, please do so now. 

• Register here for a VIRTUS training session.

Please note: This training is intended for those who have never been VIRTUS certified before (once certified, you need to update your training/background check every three years).

See instructions on how to register for a VIRTUS account here.

For instructions/questions, please email Ann.Karels@hfcmn.org.

Disciples serving at Holy Family Catholic Church and Holy Family Academy must fulfill certain requirements before they begin:

Also, only if you are planning to help out at Holy Family Academy, a new 123B FORM (the ONLY paper form) needs to be filled out and sent to Ann.Karels@hfcmn.org.

ALL Teen Disciples (ages 13-17) must have a Code of Conduct and TWO References on file:

- Once you have completed all of the forms you may send them to Ann Karels via email or drop them off at the parish office in a sealed envelope addressed to: Ann Karels - CONFIDENTIAL
- All teens are also required to complete personal safety lessons (these are provided to classes at HFA, the Youth Group, those in Religious Education classes, and Chesterton Academy).  Please contact Ann Karels at 952.929.0113 for more details, as well as to verify once you have taken the lessons.
