Circle of Grace

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 the 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.
