As part of its effort to protect all children from harm as well as to create safe environments in which children can learn and grow in faith, the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend will provide annual safe environment training to all children enrolled in diocesan Catholic schools and parish religious education programs. In age appropriate lessons, the children will learn about God's love for them; personal space; treating ourselves and others with respect and care; safe and unsafe touches; and how to get help from a trusted adult if needed. The lessons, available in both English and Spanish, will be taught every year. For specific training materials, please see below:
