About Called To Protect
The Diocese of Phoenix requires that all employees and volunteers, at all facilities, achieve and maintain current Safe Environment Training certification and pass a background check before participating in any ministry.
If you have been serving for the last few years, your information and class history should show up in the current Catholic Mutual Group files. If you have been inactive it could be "archived" and inaccessible to you. Do not create a new account. Contact our Safe Environment Coordinator to "unarchive" your file to make it active so you may take a new class to become compliant.
If you are new, or if this is your first time serving for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, you will have to create and complete a new profile and complete the Safe Environment Application. You will also be required to sign up for an Initial/Foundation Training for Safe Environment. Annually thereafter, on July 1, is a required renewal training for everyone to take to continue to volunteer and be in compliance.
All employees and volunteers are required to complete the state and federal criminal background check (a third-party company called Selection.com will be processing the background check and quarterly checks). The initial background check is included in your Initial/Foundation Training process and lasts for a period of 6 years. If you are taking a Renewal Training and your background check has expired, you will take the renewal training first and then take a new background check.
