Painted Churches Tour
Schulenburg, Texas
Saturday, November 23, 2019

 
ACTS will host this a guided tour of the churches built by German and Czech immigrants in the 1800’s and 1900’s. These churches are breathtaking! You’ve heard about them, now it’s time to see them.
 
The cost is $10 per person. If you wish to carpool or follow someone, we will meet at 6:45 am at the church, and leave by 7:00 am. It is just over a 2-hour drive. The tour will begin at 10:00 am at the Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce, 618 N Main St, Schulenburg, Texas. If you come on our own, be sure to be at the Chamber of Commerce by 10:00 am. Our group will have lunch at the Oakridge Smokehouse in Schulenburg. You will be responsible for the cost of your lunch.
 
We have information packets here. There are also printed copies in the church. The packet will give you more information on the tour and other things to do while in the area. Please reserve your spot now by calling Paul Tibaldo at 409-939-0589, Gary Carpenter at 409-599-4695, or Kathy Carpenter at 409-599-4694.
 
 

CMG Safe Haven is
Replacing Virtus Training
 

The CMG Safe Haven online training is replacing the Virtus training. The training consists of three training videos and will include a criminal background check that must be completed. The Archdiocese will no longer offer live training. All training will only be available online.
 
The Archdiocese requires all volunteers in ANY capacity to have training and a background check. This includes members of clubs/organizations who do anything on our property, even if you aren’t working with or around children.
 
· All new volunteers will complete the Safe Haven online training program instead of Virtus training.
· All individuals must complete the training and complete a background check prior to the start of volunteer service. Even if you are not currently volunteering, please go ahead and do this, so that in the future, you won’t be excluded from something you might want to do.
· Your 5-year anniversary date is still in place. Individuals who attended VIRTUS will not need to complete refresher training until they have met their 5-year anniversary date. There is no longer a year’s grace period after the 5-year anniversary date. You’ll be able to do the refresher training 60 days prior to your 5-year anniversary date.
· To check your status, please go to the website at the bottom of this article. To log in, use your previous Virtus user ID. Your new password is 1234. Once you log in, you should change your password.
· If you don’t remember your user ID, DO NOT open another account. Please call Paige Persad at the parish office at 409-925-3579 for assistance.
· Please log in soon to see if your information is correct and up to date.
