The background screening and Safe Haven 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.
Safe Haven training is required for all adults that work with or around children. The current training program replaces the face to face classes we have had in the past(like VIRTUS). It is called Safe Haven, administered by our Archdiocese in cooperation with the Catholic Mutual Group (CMG).
The training is now online through CMG and takes about an hour to complete. Once the online portion is finished, a background check is performed and once it clears, you may fill out a parish volunteer application to begin your generous service to the school or church.
