St. Bernadette Parish Department of Faith Formation will present a sexual abuse prevention program, the Touching Safety program, to our students in early Spring of the year.  The creators of the Protecting God’s Children™ program developed the Touching Safety program. This program is provided to us by the Archdiocese of Seattle, and is a part of our ongoing effort to help create and maintain a safe environment for children and to protect all children from sexual abuse.

For more information on the Touching Safety program, visit the VIRTUS Online™ website at www.virtus.org.

The Touching Safety Currinculum will be taught to students of Faith Formation classes on February 28, 2021.  Students participating in parish school classes, Junion High, Senior High, and Confirmation Preparation classes will be taught at another time.
