Child Protection at St. Boniface

The Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People promulgated by the Bishops of the United States in 2002 outlines specific practices and guidelines providing standards of safety in parishes and diocese throughout the United States.

In an effort to remain in compliance with these directives we are updating our records.

The process has been streamlined and the volunteer application, code of conduct and background screening can be accomplished online at www.Virtus.org. You will need your user name and password to update your account. If you need assistance please contact Virtus at 1-888847-8870 or helpdesk@vitus.org.

Active Volunteers:
If you are an active volunteer you may receive an email from Sterling Volunteers who will be asking you to update your background screening application on-line.

Please be aware that this is not a scam nor has your e-mail been hacked. It is merely a way for the parish to make sure its files are accurate and up to date.

Once you have accessed your account, review the information for accuracy and make any changes necessary by hitting the TOOLBOX tab at the top of the screen and choose Update My Account.

Any further questions please contact Christine Whited, our VIRTUS coordinator at stbonvirtus@gmail.com.

Eucharistic Adoration at St. Boniface

You are welcome to spend 15 or 20 minutes before the Blessed Sacrament on Saturday afternoons from 4  PM – 4:45  PM in the Church.

Eucharistic Adoration is the traditional Catholic practice of placing the consecrated host in a vessel, called a Monstrance, for the faithful to look upon and pray to the Lord in peaceful contemplation.

During Holy Hour, periods of silence may be interspersed with communal songs, prayers, or readings from Sacred Scripture. 

St. Boniface Martyr parishioners are fortunate to have two opportunities to spend time in Adoration before the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament every week (unless otherwise noted in the Liturgy Schedule on page 2 of our bulletin):

Saturdays 4pm – 4:45pm: Silent Adoration

Wednesdays 2pm – 3pm: Holy Hour

Come and pray with us!
