The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston now requires that all priests, deacons, clergy, employees, volunteers, groups, movements, and organizations within the parish be Safe Haven (formerly known as VIRTUS) certified.
This includes all volunteers and members of our Ministries and organizations who are age 18 and above.
The training and certification process are completed online via the CMG Connect website. The certification process includes viewing the training video, acknowledging the diocesan policies and submission of a background check request.
Once approved, the certification is valid for 5 years. CMG Connect will send out automatic email notifications when your certification is coming due for renewal.
