Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s):
This is to inform you about a special class we will teach as part of your child’s Youth program. This class
aims to teach youth how to be safe, protect themselves, and communicate any potential danger.
In the Catholic Church’s desire to help you keep your children safe, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe requires
that all children and young people participating in religious education in any parish or Catholic school in
the Archdiocese receive instruction in protecting themselves and communicating potential danger to a
parent or other responsible adult.
The document titled Promise to Protect, Pledge to Heal, Charter for the Protection of Children and
Young People written by the American Catholic Bishops, contains the flowing instruction: Dioceses will
establish safe environments and programs that will “provide education and training for children, youth,
parents, ministers, educators and others about ways to make and maintain a safe environment for
children.” The Archdiocese, in order to comply with this instruction, has mandated that programs to
educate children on how to be safe, protect themselves, and communicate any potential danger, be offered
annually to children of all grades in Catholic schools and parish religious education and youth programs.
This instruction, Circle of Grace, will take place Sunday, September 20, 2020 at 3:00PM at the Social
Hall. The materials that will be used for this instruction will be available for you to review in the office of
the Director of Religious Education.
If for any reason, you do NOT want your child to participate in this class, YOU MUST SIGN THE
FORM BELOW AND RETURN IT TO BEFORE SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2020. Not
returning this letter indicates permission for your child to participate in this class.
Sincerely in Christ,
Fr. Daniel M. Balizan
Fr. Daniel M. Balizan
Pastor
I do NOT wish for my son/daughter _______________________________ to participate in the Circle of name of candidate Grace Program for learning how to stay safe and protect himself/herself from potential abuse.

en los programas parroquiales de educación religiosa y en los programas para jóvenes, para educarlos
