Called To Protect™ For Youth

Information For Parents

As Catholics, we believe that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God. Each of us is sacred and our lives — body, mind and soul — should be treated with respect. Called to Protect™ for Youth gives our young people practical tools, in language and medium they can understand, to realize this fundamental teaching of our faith.

This guide provides an overview of the program, how parents can reinforce the information in the program, and where parents can find additional resources. If you have further concerns or questions as a parent, please contact a member of your school or parish staff or the diocesan Ethics and Integrity in Ministry Office at (512) 476-4888.
