Every school in the Diocese of Wichita is to make available to parents regularly scheduled education that will assist them in the total formation of their children: religious, academic, physical/wellness, and personal/social. Suggested topics....bullying, health and wellness, sacramental preparation, stewardship, academic best practices, and Internet safety. If you would be interested in helping select topics for our school and finding speakers, please contact the school office at 251-0480.

VIRTUS

The Protecting God's Children training program for adults is a three-hour awareness session that instructs adults on how to protect children, and that it succeeds only because of a continuous awareness and vigilance on the part of each of us. Questions regarding the VIRTUS program should be directed to Father Ben or Sister Janelle at 251-0475 or Lisa Payne at 251-0480. There will be an opportunity to attend a VIRTUS class here at Holy Name parish on Saturday, July 13 at 8:00 AM in Marian Hall.
