I am brand new to the EIM process

  • Welcome! Click this link to begin the registration process with Austin. 
  • Go through the registration process (appx. 5 minutes) and sign up for a live training workshop. You will see a list of workshops once you register. You need to attend a workshop within 30 days.
  • The live training workshop is about 3-hours long and trains you to spot and report abuse as well as how to establish healthy boundaries. A live training is required for all individuals new to the EIM process.
 

I need Refresher Training

  • Login to VIRTUS.org as an existing user. If you need help with your login info, please email your site administrator, EIM@austindiocese.org, or helpdesk@virtus.org. If your account is Inactive, please email EIM@austindiocese.org.
  • Once you are logged in, look at the My Info Box to verify that all profile information is up-to-date, and look at the Compliance Summary Box to view your most recent workshop/training date and background check date (both must be within 3 years to be compliant).
  • If you are due for a refresher training, once logged on, click on the link in the Current Training Box to begin the training. The online refresher is about 80 minutes long. Please do not attempt to “fast forward” or “speed up” the refresher, as this will cause a glitch and you will need to restart.

  • EIM Code of Ethics / Código Ético del EIM

    I, (first name), while serving in ministry in the Diocese of Austin, and in my personal life, commit to:

    • Strive to exhibit ethical behavior and integrity, free from any scandal;
    • Conduct myself in a moral manner consistent with the discipline, norms and teachings of the Catholic Church;
    • Accept responsibility in the protection of minors, elderly adults and adults with disabilities from abuse;
    • Adhere to the applicable laws regarding the reporting of abuse;
    • Report concerns about unethical behavior to the diocese and my pastor, principal, or supervisor; and
    • Follow the diocesan policies on Ethics and Integrity in Ministry (EIM), including remaining EIM compliant.


  • What does it mean to be Compliant?

    1. You have had 1 initial “live” training within 3 years: After this initial “live” training, you complete an online refresher every three years;
    2. You have consented to background checks, which are run every three years

    Please contact your site administrator or the EIM Office if you have any questions about these requirements.
  • Having trouble logging in or having technical difficulties with VIRTUS.org?

    Contact the VIRTUS Help Desk at helpdesk@virtus.org or 1-888-847-8870.

    If you were VIRTUS trained in another diocese and want to see if your records are eligible to be transferred to Austin, contact the Help Desk Team (
    helpdesk@virtus.org) and let them know your previous diocese and you would like your records to be transferred to Austin. You must have taken an in-person Protecting God's Children workshop in the past to be eligible for transfer.
  • Who will email me if I am due to update my training or authorize a background check?

    You will receive an email from system@virtus.org, EIM@austindiocese.org, or from your site administrator.
