Keeping Our Children Safe

For Children and Youth

• The education of children includes formation in the knowledge and practice of their faith, including participation in Sunday Mass and frequent Confessions, and a life of virtue following the teachings of the Church.

• Christian parents/guardians are the primary educators of their children. They carry out their role in Communion with the Church and her pastors, who ensure that the education offered to the young follows Church teachings.

• Parents/guardians are assisted by their pastors, who draw on the spiritual riches of the Church to receive ongoing Christian formation and to choose the means and institutes that can best promote their children’s Catholic education.

• Under the pastor’s direction, Catholic schools, religious education programs, and youth ministry programs should assist catechetical partners with parents or guardians.
