The registration policy of Saint Francis of Assisi Children’s Faith Formation does not discriminate based on a child’s race, color, religion, sex, national or ethnic origin. By checking this block I acknowledge this policy and agree to support and uphold it in my family’s behavior.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Youth and the safe-environment policies of the Diocese of Arlington require that all children in our schools and religious education programs be given safe-environment training that is age-appropriate and in accord with Catholic moral principles. The Diocese of Arlington provides training through the curriculum entitled Circle of Grace for all students, grades 1-12. The safe environment programs for all students are available on the diocesan webpage at: https://www.arlingtondiocese.org/Child-Protection/Youth-Training-Programs/Circle-of-Grace/
