The CMGConnect online training replaces the former Safe Environment Program (VIRTUS “Protecting God’s Children”) that was previously offered through our Archdiocese. Individuals are now required to complete all Safe Environment Training online.
CMG connect is a new web-based platform that will assist us to ensure that all employees and volunteers who are in a position of trust with children and vulnerable adults within our schools and parishes are trained to recognize behavior patterns of potential abusers and provide pro-active measures for preventing abuse in any context.
“Safe Haven-It’s Up to You” is a three part video which provides vignettes of real-life situations to educate the viewer about methods of grooming, desensitization, bullying and neglect, all of which can lead to abuse. Each part of the video is immediately followed by a brief questionnaire to further develop understanding.
Education is the key element of the Safe Environment program. All clergy, employees, contracted school personnel, and volunteers over the age of 18, who work in any capacity with or around children, the elderly, and adults with special needs are required to complete the Archdiocesan Safe Environment Online Training. All volunateers of St. Mark the Evangelist must submit to a criminal background check before they may begin employment or volunteer with ministries, groups, movements, and organizations.
In addition, all present volunteers must complete the mandatory online renewal training upon the 5 year anniversary of the prior training and submit a new background check as a condition of continued ministry and/or continued employment in this Archdiocese. As the 5-year anniversary date is met, volunteers will need to log into CMGConnect with their previous personal VIRTUS user id and 1234 as the password. Once the volunteer logs into their CMGConnect account, they will be able to change their password. If they do not remember the user id, they may contact the following:
These trainings are available in English and Spanish. .
