Safe Church Refresher Courses
are now available online. If you have already taken the complete Safe
Church Training and three years have passed, we are now able to offer a
Refresher Course, rather than repeating the original course. This
advanced course builds on knowledge and gives additional information
based on experience.
If you are eligible for re-certification, there is no need to contact the Diocese.
The software provider, Praesidium, sends a list to the Diocese once a
month advising who has taken the online training and who is due for
renewal. In turn, the Diocese will notify the parish office of those
needing to re-certify. If a parishioner has moved, or is no longer
active in the parish, the church office can notify Judy Rieken at jrieken@diosova.org
to inactivate the participant. In order to be eligible for
re-certification, you must have a previous child certification on file
with the Diocese. If you have additional questions, contact Judy,
jrieken@diosova.org or 757-213-3391.
