All volunteers at St. Peter must complete a volunteer application. Once it has been reviewed by St. Peter staff, safe environment training must be completed. This is accomplished on-line through CMG connect. The process includes a criminal background check and all documents required by the Diocese. To volunteer at St. Peter, contact a staff member or the leader of the ministry in which you are interested.
Catholic Mutual Group (CMG) has served as a major insurer to the Catholic Church for over 125 years. CMG’s unparalleled experience working with over 20,000 locations has given them a clear historical advantage of risk management trends and intervention. Out of their commitment to the Church’s mission Catholic Mutual Group has developed a new program interfaced through CMG connect.
CMG connect is a new web-base platform that will assist us to ensure that all employees and volunteers who are in a position of trust with children and vulnerable adults within our schools and parishes are trained to recognize behavior patterns of potential abusers and provide pro-active measures for preventing abuse in any context.
“Safe Haven-It’s Up to You” is a three part video which provides vignettes of real-life situations to educate the viewer about methods of grooming, desensitization, bullying and neglect, all of which can lead to abuse. Each part of the video is immediately followed by a brief questionnaire to further develop understanding.
In addition to the “Safe Haven-It’s Up to You” video, CMG connect will provide a streamlined screening process for employees and volunteers by use of a secure on-line background check and electronic signatures on our diocesan Code of Conduct documents.
