Safe Environment: CMG Connect

All members of the Church are linked to one another. We are all responsible for ensuring the safety of children and vulnerable adults in our communities. CMG Connect is a web-based platform that assists us in training employees and volunteers who are in a position of trust with children and vulnerable adults to recognize behavior patterns of potential abusers and provide proactive measures for preventing abuse in any context.

• All new employees and volunteers must complete the CMG Connect online training program specifically for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
• Those currently VIRTUS certified in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston do not need to complete the training until just before their five-year anniversary date.
• Every five years, employees and volunteers must renew their training.
• You must complete a criminal background check as part of the registration process.
• Please be sure to choose Safe Environment Training - Mandatory for all employees and volunteers which includes a background check. Do not select the Non-Archdiocesan option.

• New to training? Create an account by completing all the boxes under “Register for a New Account.” Please do not create a new account if you completed VIRTUS in the past 5 years - you will already have an account in the system.

• Previous VIRTUS training (within the past 5 years)? Click the green “Sign In Here” button in the upper right corner of the page and use your VIRTUS username and password: 1234. You will be prompted to update to a more secure password. Once signed in, you can update your account information from the “Edit Profile” tab. If you do not remember your user id, please contact cmgconnect@catholicmutual.org or call the Catholic Mutual Group direct customer support line at (833) 993-1667.
