Family Life:  

RCL Benzinger Family Life Program – Grades K – High School

As per the policy of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, children and parents in Parish Faith Formation Programs and Catholic Schools are to receive family life catechesis, including safe environment training, in Grades Kindergarten through High School.  The goal of these programs are to build strong Catholic families, share Catholic values, live Christian Virtues, and promote child safety.

In our Faith Formation Program we use RCL Benzinger Family Life for Grades K-5 each year.  We use the Archdiocesan, “Created to Love,” program for middle and high school students on an every other year format.  

Worthy of the Call:

The Archdiocesan program, “Worthy of the Call,” is a training for young people, ages 14 to 18, that volunteer or work for the Catholic Church. The goal of this program is to educate our youth about creating and identifying safe environments. It also focuses on how they are called to make a difference in their parish and local community, and world by their baptism and their Catholic faith.
