The CMG Safe Haven Online Training has Replaced the VIRTUS TrainingThe training consists of 3 vignette style training videos that are approximately 60 minutes and will include a criminal background check that must be completed. These trainings are available in English and Spanish and can be completed on a computer, tablet or smart phone. We will no longer offer live trainings, all Safe Environment trainings will only be available online.
• All new employees and volunteers will complete the Safe Haven online training program and the turnaround time for approval may be approximate-ly two weeks or less.
• All individuals must complete the training and complete a background check prior to the start of employment and/or volunteer service.
• The 5-year anniversary date is still in place, so individuals who recently attend-ed VIRTUS will not be due to complete refresher trainings until they have met their 5-year anniversary date.
• As the 5-year anniversary date is met, individuals will need to log into CMG Connect with their previous personal VIRTUS user id and 1234 as the pass-word. Once the individual logs into their CMGConnect account, they will be able to change their password. If you do not remember your user id please contact your Safe Environment Coordinator:
Yesenia Andablo, [email protected], 713-465-3414 ext. 181

Formation Toward Christian Ministry5 Sessions on SacramentsFriday, May 10th 4:30 – 9 pm & Saturday, May 11th 9 am - 5 pm at the St. Cecilia Auditorium.
(You can sign up for this one course only if you wish.)
This course is an introductory overview of the theol-ogy of the sacraments, the public, liturgical prayer of the Church. The Church is never so much the Church as when it is gathered together for Liturgy. Jesus himself is Sacrament, the visible sign of the invisible God. Eucharist is THE Sacrament for it con-tains all that we are, all that the Church is, and all that Jesus says of God. Each of the sacraments will be discussed within the context of its role in the lives of the faithful: initiation into God's life, healing and reconciliation, and service to God's community.
