Formation in Christian Chastity

Dear Parents,

Bishop Loverde has mandated that all schools and religious education programs in the diocese implement The Formation in Christian Chastity Program. This is a Parent Centered Program which reinforces the understanding that parents are the primary teachers of their children. As the Bishop stated in his letter, the program is age appropriate, respecting the innocence of young children.

In order to facilitate your access to the Formation in Christian Chastity Program the entire program has been placed on-line. The on-line accessibility will also provide updates to the original "For the Home" Parent Resource Section of the program. You are strongly encouraged to also check out the "For the Classroom" component which will identify exactly the teacher's role in delivering the lesson plans for the grades identified for in school instruction.
