The Goretti Project offers a family-centered approach to safe environment education, emphasizing parents' role as primary educators in teaching children about healthy physical and digital boundaries. Parishes and schools support parents by providing resources that encourage family conversations and stronger relationships. Current resources include the Empowering God’s Children program by Virtus, Protect Young Eyes, Be Tech Ready, and content from Theology of the Body.
The Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation across the diocese and the US are a two year process.
The curriculum for each grade focuses on 6 subjects: Creed, Sacraments, Moral Development, Prayer, Saints, and Scripture. All grades use doctrine from the Catechism of the Catholic Church plus vocabulary in order to teach these 6 subjects. This Religious Education curriculum is used for the whole diocese of Kalamazoo in parish CCD programs and the Catholic Schools and was last updated in 2014. Find a pdf of the full curriculum here.
