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.

 

About the program

Circle of Grace is the children’s education component of the Diocese of Orlando's Safe Environment training. It serves the dual purpose of educating and informing children and youth about the value of positive relationships with God and others.

Through Circle of Grace, adults assist children and youth to recognize that each of us lives within a Circle of Grace that holds our very essence in body, mind, heart, soul, and sexuality. 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 boundaries are threatened or violated.Circle of Grace is clinically sound and grounded in the Catholic tradition. Its strong parent component means parents can actively participate in their children’s education and formation.

This program will be introduced this school year. More information on dates and times will be forthcoming.
