Archdiocese Safe Environment Protocols

The Archdiocese of San Antonio provides several resources and videos to parishes in an effort to help programs talk to students and parents about safety measures.

Our Religious Education programs will review some topics about safe environments and boundaries with our students in October and April. If you would like to learn more about what the Archdiocese offers or to watch videos for specific age levels, check out the following links:

The safety of our students, families, volunteers, and staff is a top priority for our Faith Formation Ministry. It is important to us that parents feel comfortable and confident while their children attend classes at SEAS. We take several steps to ensure we are providing a safe environment for all.

Each of our volunteers and all of the staff are required to take Safe Environment Trainings. Our Good Shepherd and Elementary students must be picked up from their classroom to guarantee that they leave with a trusted adult.

You will also notice that we have a police officer on site during each class session.

To help with safety measures, we ask that parents read the below handbook provided by the Archdiocese of San Antonio.
