EIM is a diocesan training and screening process utlizing the VIRTUS platform. It is focused on helping our community prevent and respond to abuse. It includes required workshops and background checks for all who work or volunteer in ministry as well as policies for reporting abuse.
We at St. Thomas More have a shared commitment to ensuring our parish is a safe place for everyone, especially children and vulnerable adults. The more people who are aware of abuse warning signs, the more effective we can be in keeping our communities safe (parish, neighborhood, family, schools). With this in mind, our parish community is committed to following the Diocese of Austin Ethics and Integrity in Ministry (EIM) policies.
Please contact our site administrator (see below) or the diocesan EIM office with questions or concerns.

The Diocese of Austin is committed to providing confidential and compassionate care to victims of sexual abuse, particularly if the abuse was committed by clergy or a church representative. If you have experienced abuse by someone representing the Catholic Church, please contact the diocesan coordinator of victims assistance and pastoral support at (512) 949-2400.
