Circle of Grace


The Diocese of Boise has adopted the Circle of Grace curriculum as our safe environment education program for our youth.  Holy Family Catholic School has implemented this curriculum in grades K-8.  The Circle of Grace curriculum was developed by the Archdiocese of Omaha and is used in many dioceses throughout the United States.

What is Circle of Grace

The goal of the Circle of Grace program is to educate and empower children and young people to actively participate in a safe environment for themselves and others.

Circle of Grace is the love and goodness of God that surrounds us and all others. It is the recognition that God is with us always and is there to help us in difficult situations. Through the Circle of Grace Program, adults assist children and youth to recognize God’s love by understanding that each of us lives and moves within a Circle of Grace.

The Circle of Grace program teaches children and young people to seek help from a trusted adult, reinforcing God’s presence in their real life struggles.
