Safe Environment Training

Good Afternoon Parents and Guardians,

Every year, the Diocese of Colorado Springs Bishop's Charter mandates that all parish ministries (Religious Ed, Youth Ministry, Altar Servers, etc.) or parish-chartered organizations (Trail Life, Cub Scouts, AHG) that involve youth, provide one annual Safe Environment Training for our students that are in grade levels preK through High School. 

As we did last year, we will continue to use the Empowering God's Children training program in VIRTUS. We will return to presenting the training in person this year.

This Safe Environment Training will be February 13th, 2022 during their regular Sunday School time of 9:30am at your child's regular meeting room and it should only take up a portion of class time.

If there are any parents who would like their child to opt out, parents must physically sign the bottom of the opt out form (attached below) and bring it back to me. An email from the parent or guardian stating they do not want their child to participate is NOT considered sufficient documentation.  Any children who opted out, but are still attending the group's meeting on that day will be separated from the group during the lesson/presentation with an alternative activity for them to do.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

Pax Christi,

Courtney Taylor
