Dear Parents,
The Reading Catholic Community Faith Formation Ministries is required by the Archdiocese of Boston to have a Safe Environment Program. A Safe Environment Program includes initiatives for the purpose of keeping All God's Children Safe.
Our community Safe Environment Program requires of all volunteers:
Additional to screening and educating volunteers, the community is required to offer the Archdiocesan approved program, Empowering All God's Children to children enrolled in Faith Formation Grades 1-10. This program teaches a culture of respect and faith, helping children and young people understand their own sacredness, the sacredness of others, and how to seek help.
Each year we will offer two classes: one in the Fall and one in the Spring during your child's Religious Education classes. Spring 2023, we will offer the one class on March 5-8th (during your child's regularly scheduled class) for those in Grades 1 and 3 thru 8.
