The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend created a safe environment educational program for all children enrolled in their Catholic schools and parish religious education programs. The diocese established this important program to fulfill one of the mandates of the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.
In our diocese, children receive this educational program every year. Beginning in October your children will be presented this material during their religion classes. Grades preschool through 8th grade will be presented with very age-specific safe environment training.
Presentations will begin in early October. If you choose not to have your child receive this information, there is an Opt Out form accessible HERE. Contact Julianne Dougall, Kim Slott or the Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend for more information. The diocese requires you to turn in a form each year. Please return the form as soon as possible.
