Safe Environment

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.
Priests, deacons, clergy, employees, and volunteers are called at all times to engage in Christ-Centered and professional behavior.
The background screening and Safe Environment training of all priests, deacons, clergy, employees, and volunteers is a requirement of the Archdiocese and assists in upholding our Safe Environment Policies.
PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED VIRTUS TRAINING
If you previously completed VIRTUS training, do not create a new account in CMGConnect.
You will log-in with your previous personal user id from VIRTUS and enter the password 1234. Once you log into your CMGConnect account, you will be able to change your password.
If you do not remember your VIRTUS user id or are unable to log-in, please contact your local Safe Environment Coordinator or Daphne Woods for log-in assistance at 800.228.6108 ext. 2375 or [email protected].

You will be required to complete a criminal background check as part of the registration process. Failure to complete the criminal background check in its entirety will delay the approval process for volunteer service.
