Circle of Grace Parent Information
Circle of Grace
is the Safe Environment training for children and teens that was developed
by the Archdiocese of Omaha.
Each year, Circle of Grace lessons are
taught to students in Kindergarten through High School who attend Catholic
schools, Religious Education and Youth Ministry programs.
What is a Circle of Grace? The Catholic Church teaches that
God has created each of us as unique and special. Genesis 1:27 tells us that
we are created “male and female in God’s image” and that God saw this as
“very good.” In that goodness, we are meant to respect ourselves and
everyone else as persons created and loved by God.
