      If you have any further questions, please contact our PGC Administrator listed on this page.

      Thank you for your cooperation as we do our best to create a safe environment for all our St. Joseph students.

    • Background Check Cost

      The new and improved Diocesan background checks have increased from $2.50 to $18 per person.  With hundreds of volunteers here at St. Joseph's we ask that you consider a donation to help supplement this significant increase.  Thank you once again for giving your time and talent to St. Joseph's!

    • FAQ's

      • I'm not sure if I have a Virtus onlilne accout?  Don't create a new one!  Try "I NEED LOGIN HELP" first.  If that doesn't work and you believe you have an account contact our PGC Administrator
      • What if my account is Inactive?  Contact Kelly Aguayo to request activation
      • I have an account in another diocese?  Contact information should pop up after login.  Email the existing diocesan accounts admin and request to either be moved to the Joliet Diocese if you will no longer be volunteering in your previous diocese.  Or asked to be "Mirrored" if you want to be seen in both diocese (ex: Chicago & Joliet)
