St. Matthew the Evangelist Catholic Church values all of our parishioners.  We strive to ensure all who are here feel welcome and safe.  We need you to help us be the eyes and ears of the Church.  Thank you for your commitment to St. Matthew Church, for taking our Safe Environment Online Training program, "Safe Haven", and for helping us create a safe environment for all!

Todos los miembros de los ministerios, organizaiones, voluntarios, clero, empleados, catequistas y miembros de la iglesia que tienen algun contacto con ninos/ninas o menores de edad, tienen que sometir una encuesta al Ambinte Seguro Formacion Obligatoria al sitio web: https://galvestonhouston.cmgconnect.org
Abajo estan las instruciones de como ingresar y llenar esta encuesta en linea y desde su casa. Si necesita mas ayuda favor de comunicarse a la oficina parroquial al 713.466.44030. 

All new employees and adult volunteers will complete the Safe Haven Online Training program instead of VIRTUS training.   

• All adults 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; individuals who recently attended 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 CMGConnect with their previous personal VIRTUS user id and 1234 as the password. Once the individual logs into their CMGConnect account, they will be able to change their password. It is strongly suggested that this is done immediately.  If they do not remember their user id, they may contact St. Matthew Catholic Church.

1. Adult volunteers who have never attended training.
2. Adult volunteers who are out of compliance or past due.
3. Adult volunteers who volunteer in any aspect at the parish.

IMPORTANT NOTES 

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.
