This booklet is designed to easily reference prayers that children will be taught at different grade levels during their formal instruction in our parish religious education programs.
Parishes are required to offer a single Safe Boundaries lesson to the children and youth in their programs on a yearly basis. As the primary educators of your children, parents and guardians are encouraged to review these materials ahead of time and discuss the information at home.
Here you will find a digital Catholic Bible, daily Mass readings, news articles, and other informative updates from the Bishops of the United States.
