Circle of Grace

The Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana recently adopted the Circle of Grace curriculum. Circle of Grace aims to equip our children and young people by arming them with essential knowledge and skills grounded in the richness of our faith.  This program helps children and young people to understand their own (and other’s) dignity in mind, body, and spirit.    

What is a Circle of Grace?   

The Catholic Church teaches that God has created each of us as unique and special. Genesis 1:27 tells us that we are created “male and female in God’s image” and that God saw this as “very good.”  In that goodness, we are meant to respect ourselves and everyone else as persons created and loved by God.    Adults assist children and young people to recognize God’s love by helping them to understand that each of us lives and moves in a Circle of Grace. You can imagine your own Circle of Grace by putting your arms above your head then circle down in front of your body including side to side. This circle, front to back, holds who you are in your body and through your senses.  It holds your very essence in mind, heart, soul, and sexuality.
