Safe Environment - CMG Safe Haven

St. Bernadette Catholic Church values all of our parishioners.  We strive to ensure all who are here feel welcome and safe.  We need you to help us be the eyes and ears of the Church.  Thank you for your commitment to St. Bernadette Church, for taking our Safe Environment Online Training program, "Safe Haven", and for helping us create a safe environment for all!
 

CMG Safe Haven Online Training has replaced VIRTUS training. CMG Safe Haven consists of 3 vignette style videos that are approximately 60 minutes total in length, with a criminal background check that will be included at the end of the training.
These trainings are available in English and Spanish. We will no longer offer live trainings; all Safe Environment trainings will only be available online.

All new employees and adult volunteers will complete the Safe Haven Online Training program instead of VIRTUS training.   

• All adults must complete the training, and complete a background check, prior to the start of employment and/or volunteer service.
• The 5-year anniversary date is still in place; individuals who recently attended VIRTUS will not be due to complete refresher trainings until they have met their 5-year anniversary date.
• As the 5-year anniversary date is met, individuals will need to log into CMGConnect with their previous personal VIRTUS user id and 1234 as the password. Once the individual logs into their CMGConnect account, they will be able to change their password. It is strongly suggested that this is done immediately.  If they do not remember their user id, they may contact St. Bernadette Safe Environment Coordinators at 832 915 5655 or safeenvironment@stbchurch.org

1. Adult volunteers who have never attended training.
2. Adult volunteers who are out of compliance or past due.
