In August 2017, Cardinal DiNardo has directed that every parish in the Archdiocese implement the Circle of Grace program, children and youth are taught to identify and maintain appropriate physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual boundaries; recognize when boundary violations are about to occur; and demonstrate how to take action when boundary violations are threatened or violated. Along with a strong parent component, the program teaches children that God is with them at all times, especially in difficult situations. The Office of Adolescent Catechesis and Evangelization oversees the formation and reporting process.
Below you can find the Standard Lesson Plans according to the Grade. When Faith Formation is in-person at the Parish, these lessons are incorporated into the Curriculum for each grade.
