The Diocese of Burlington regularly updates its safe environment policies. All our parish staff and volunteers work together for the good of families to keep our children safe. Not only is safe environment training given to staff and volunteers who work with children, catechists in religious education are also given tested lessons to empower children with knowledge that helps their own safety. The Circle of Grace Program has been chosen in our diocese. Because St. John Vianney Parish uses the Family Formation model, it is not possible for classroom catechists to give the complete Circle of Grace program. However, the entire contents of Circle of Grace are made available to our parish families.
