What is Ministry Guide and Discernment?
Potential volunteers are encouraged to attend the Ministry Guide & Discernment prior to getting involved in ministry.
The discernment is facilitated in a small group session which cultivates dialogue about volunteering, Saint William ministries, and advancement toward serving well.
What are the benefits of attending a discernment?- Evaluate personal time consumption/commitments.
- Discover your potential as a volunteer, leader, or participant in ministry.
- Learn about VIRTUS compliance.
- Enjoy fellowship among others who are invested in helping the ministry develop.

Ethics & Integrity in Ministry
Some volunteers are required to be compliant with the Diocese of Austin Ethics and Integrity in Ministry policy.
The Virtus workshop teaches participants about boundaries, warning signs, and appropriate interactions with minors and vulnerable adults. Similarly, instructions about how to respond to incidents, and discussions on diocesan ethical policies are included.
If you had an EIM account, your account was transferred to VIRTUS.ORG, and your VIRTUS login information was sent via email on file. For new volunteers to the Virtus process, please visit the Diocese of Austin page to learn how to create an account and sign up for a workshop.
