An invitation to Clergy from the Order of St. Helena
Augusta, Georgia

Picture
The Order of St. Helena is a religious order for lay and ordained women in The Episcopal Church. Its mission is to show forth Christ through a life of monastic prayer, hospitality and service. 

The sisters of the Order of St. Helena offer to members of the clergy two free overnight reservations per calendar year for rest and refreshment. To find out more, visit their website, or connect with them on Facebook.

Safeguarding Online

(Abuse prevention training required by the diocese)
Online training is provided through the Church Pension Group. Safeguarding Online provides training in short, focused courses that can normally be completed in 30-45 minutes. These courses can be taken from any location where a high-speed Internet connection is available.

If you completed this training in the last few years through a parish that is not part of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, please contact Lauren Kinard in the Diocesan Office (843.259-2016). We will be able to access your information through CPG and update your diocesan records accordingly. 

If you know your training is not up to date and you wish to enroll in online training, click here for further instructions.
