St. Bernadette Catholic Church values all of our parishioners. We strive to ensure all who are here feel welcome and safe.
We want to thank all of you for your commitment to St. Bernadette Church,
for taking the Archdiocesan Online Training program, “Safe Haven-It’s Up to You” ,
and for helping us maintain a safe environment for all!
The background screening and Safe Environment training of all priests, deacons, clergy, employees, volunteers, groups, movements, and organizations is a requirement of the Archdiocese and assists in upholding our Safe Environment Policies.
CMG "Safe Haven" Online Training has replaced VIRTUS training. “Safe Haven-It’s Up to You” is a three-part video that 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, concluding with a criminal background check.
These trainings are available in English and Spanish. We will no longer offer live trainings; all Safe Environment trainings will only be available online. Unfortunately, at this time the program is not compatible with cell phones; the training must be done on a tablet or computer.
All employees and adult volunteers will complete the Safe Haven Online Training program instead of VIRTUS training.
