The Protecting God's Children and Vulnerable Adults 3.2 course

Have you completed the Protecting God's Children and Vulnerable Adults 3.2 course? The Diocese mandates that all people who work with children and youth in our parishes and schools and vulnerable adults must undergo child abuse prevention training through the VlRTUS program. This course is a new course which focuses on how to recognize the signs of abuse, neglect or exploitation in both children and adults. Please register for this course by visiting virtusonline.org. You will need to know your USERlD and password. lf you have attempted to recover your password and/or user lD and have not been successful (including if you have an outdated email address in the VlRTUS system), please communicate with the VlRTUS Help Desk via email at helpdesk@virtus.org or call 1-888-847-8870. lf you need assistance completing the course or any child abuse clearance requirements, contact Andrea Korcan-Buzza, Safe Environment Coordinator, at 724-775-4111 or safeenvstcecilia@gmail.com.

Youth Ministry Service Project Needs Your Help!

Every year our Youth Ministry program partners with the Christians United in Beaver County Jail Chaplaincy Program to spread the message of Christ by providing Christmas goodie bags to every inmate in the Beaver County Jail. Donations are needed and will be collected each weekend until December 19.

Each bag given out must be exactly the same, and so we are looking for the following specific items as per request of the Beaver County Jail: *Full size candy bars (ie. Snickers, Hershey Bar, Milky Way, etc..) *Pre- packaged store bought cookie packs (mini sized bags or 6 packs)

There is a box in the back of each church marked "Prison Project" where donations can be left or you can drop your donation off at the Rochester office any weekday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon. If you have questions, please contact Danielle at the parish office.


THANK YOU

The Council of Pittsburgh of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul wishes to express our deep appreciation for depositing your generous donations in our blue donation bins. Your donations help us serve those individuals and families in need in your neighborhood and across the boundaries of the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh with food, clothing, furniture, utility and housing assistance.

We are grateful for the wide spectrum of donated items, but only the following items should be placed into the donation bins: clothing; shoes/boots; accessories like belts, purses, gloves, and hats. Items like small appliances, books, chinaware, board games, pictures, glassware, and other miscellaneous items can be dropped off at one of our store locations in Castle Shannon, Coraopolis, Monroeville, or Penn Hills.

Your cooperation in placing only the appropriate items inside our donation bins will reduce the added time and expense of handling, transporting, and separating the items for preparation for distribution to our stores and vendors.

Please do not leave any donated bags or other items on the ground next to any full donation bins. Due to inclement weather conditions, these donated materials must be disposed of in a dumpster, which causes additional manpower and disposal fees. Any excess donation materials can be dropped off at one of our thrift stores.
As always, we are grateful for your continued support of our vital mission to serve those in need in neighborhoods like yours. For more information, please go to www.svdppitt.org and follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/svdppitt.
