The Sacrament of Matrimony and Safe Environments
Tonight we addressed the Diocesan Requirement regarding teaching how to stay safe from abuse but we added the purpose of Love and Sex as taught by the church and the Sacrament of Marriage.
The Goals of the teaching are in the files "booklets" that were sent home, but here is your copies in case they get lost.
Yes they say 9th grade, but we cycle through all four, one every year.
This program is designed to be a parent teen retreat, which is very difficult to schedule. The parent booklet has information as if you were present and to discuss after. Please review it and let me know if you have any questions. Your feedback is valuable as we may be audited by those who oversee this program and are able to suggest your comments. If you have any question, please contact me.
Ask your teen about their list describing an ideal spouse. We briefly looked at lesson 16 in the chosen book regarding true love that is free, total, faithful, fruitful. Your wedding vows. Discuss your marriage prep with them and what makes up healthy relationships - friend or romantic.
Have a wonderful week. Praying your Lenten Journey is providing openings to Christ Love. Peace, Norma
