CLASSES WILL BEGIN Wednesday, September

parents, teachers and students. The children will then
attend class while we have a meeting to go over the Handbook,
the year’s expectations and answer any questions

St. Joseph’s Religious Education
Department, under the mandate of The Office of Child Protection
Services of the Diocese of Charleston, will present a
children’s Program of Prevention Education –
“Teaching Touching Safety,” to our students
each year. The content of material being offered has been
designed specifically for the Diocese of Charleston. There
is a six-minute video presentation accompanied by a lesson.
It is a part of our ongoing effort to maintain a safe
environment for children and to protect all children from
sexual abuse. Additional information will be sent home
to the families at the beginning of the school year. You
may access the curriculum at www.nationalcatholic.org/touchingsafety/charleston.htm
We are looking for persons interested
in the Catholic faith. The RCIA process is open to anyone
seeking information about the Catholic religion. Invite
