CREATING AND MAINTAINING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
What is Safe Environment?
Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People
As part of our commitment to providing a Safe Environment
to our children and youth, our parish conducts yearly
personal safety lessons to all children
in our parish's care. Along with a strong parent component, the "Circle of Grace" program teaches children that God is with them at all times, especially in difficult situations. Our Catechists and Ministry Leaders follow the Curriculum. All individual grade lessons are available
in the RE Office for your reference.

Courage International
The Diocese of Corpus Christi has established a chapter of
Courage International. This ministry is for women and men in
our diocese who have same-sex attractions but want help to live
in holiness faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
We are all called to live chaste lives. However, persons with
same-sex attractions face the challenge of chastity with unique and often
very difficult personal struggles.The ministry is designed to be faith-based, educational,
socially enriching and a safe place for honest discussion.
If you are Catholic and live with an attraction to persons of the same sex,
contact Father John Ouellette,
Chaplain for Courage, via email.
All correspondences and meetings
are confidential.
