VIRTUS/Protecting God's Children

CMG Connect 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. 

“Safe Haven-It’s Up to You” is a three-part, one-hour video available in both English and Spanish 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. Find out more at https://galvestonhouston.cmgconnect.org/

All adults who volunteer in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston are required to take this free class.  If you are currently VIRTUS-certified, you need not take the CMG Connect class until your five-year certfication expires. If you have completed VIRTUS training in the past 5 years, do not create a new account at CMG Connect. You will log in with your old user ID from VIRTUS and enter the password 1234. If you are unable to log in, please contact Daphne Woods at 800.228.6108 ext. 2375 or email: cmgconnect@catholicmutual.org  

CMG Connect certification is also good for five years, after which you can renew your certification online.  For questions about your VIRTUS certification, about the Protecting God's Children program, or the new CMG Connect program, please contact Linda Enloe at l.domec@yahoo.com or via phone: 281-389-1820.
