Empowering God's Children Program

In 2017 our Diocese began teaching the Safe Environment curriculum entitled Empowering God’s Children to children and youth in Religious Education Classes and our Catholic Schools.

The Empowering God’s Children Program is an age-appropriate program through which educators and parents can give children and youth the tools they need to protect themselves and what to do if someone tries to violate their boundaries. All materials are available in English and Spanish through the Virtus website.

Lesson Training for 2024-2025 is Lesson 1 for K-12.
Lesson Training for 2024-2025 for Pre-K is Lesson 1.
