Circle of Grace

Read our Parent Letter that has been sent out to all of our Faith Formation families: Circle of Grace 2021

This year, Circle of Grace will be sent out by our Faith Formation coordinators to each family in our program, so that the lessons can be taught at home. More details can be found in the Circle of Grace letter, or in the email you should have received. Please make sure that you are part of our Flocknote group in order to ensure you receive all of our communications. If you did not receive the emailed lessons, please contact your child(ren)'s FF coordinator.

What is Circle of Grace?
Circle of Grace is the approved safe environment training program for elementary, junior high and high school students enrolled in religious education in the Archdiocese.
 
The goal of the Circle of Grace program is to educate and empower children and young people to actively participate in a safe environment for themselves and others.
 
Circle of Grace is the love and goodness of God that surrounds us and all others. It is the recognition that God is with us always and is there to help us in difficult situations. Through the Circle of Grace Program, adults assist children and youth to recognize God’s love by understanding that each of us lives and moves within a Circle of Grace.
 
The Circle of Grace program teaches children and young people to seek help from a trusted adult, reinforcing God’s presence in their real life struggles.

Once you have completed teaching Circle of Grace to your child(ren):
In order to properly track this program, we are asking parents to fill out the Circle of Grace 2022 Response Form once you have completed teaching the Circle of Grace lesson to all of your children. This is a simple, two-question form that should only take you a couple minutes to complete. We appreciate your help!
 

After prayerful consideration, if you decide to exercise your right to have your child excluded from participation in the Circle of Grace class, an “opt-out” form must be submitted to the parish before the lesson is scheduled to take place.
