Empowering God's Children is a program approved by the Archdiocese of Boston and presented in partnership with VIRTUS to provide the youth in our Religious Education programs with lessons on safe environments and their safety rights and boundaries. It is our role as adults to fully protect children from abuse and to give them the tools to help protect themselves.
The material presented in this program is designed to better equip your child to know their rights, recognize their boundaries, and to empower them to protect themselves when safe adults are not immediately available—and ultimately be safer from people who might want to harm them.
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. If you have ever thought about how to empower children to protect themselves, fortify their boundaries or increase their safety through in-person and online situations, then reviewing the lessons on your own to both begin and reiterate the message at home is the best next step to take.
Thank you for your partnership with us to protect youth.
