Goal of Circle of Grace Program PK - Grade 12
The goal of the Circle of Grace progam is to educate and empower children and young people to actively participate in a safe environment for themselves and others.
What is the Circle of Grace?
Circle of Grace is the love and goodness of God that surrounds us and all others. It is the recognition that God is with us always and is there to help us in difficult situations. Through the Circle of Grace program, adults assist children and youth to recognize God's love by understanding that each of us lives and moves in a Circle of Grace. You can imagine your own Circle of Grace by putting your arms above your head then circle down in front of your body including side to side. Your Circle of Grace holds your very essence in body, mind, heart, soul and sexuality. Because this holistic concept includes all senses, it allows children and young people to discern and identify uncomfortable situations long before inappropriate touch may occur. The Circle of Grace program teaches children and young people to seek help from a trusted adult, reinforcing God's presence in their real life struggles.
