SAFE ENVIRONMENT... what does it mean?All dioceses/eparchies are mandated by the Charter for Protection of Chidlren and Young People to implement safe environment programs. These programs must include:
- A written code of conduct for employees and volunteers who work with youth people.
- Training programs for adults whose duties include ongoing, unsupervised contact with minors (such as parents, ministers, educators, church personnel and volunteers); training should include materials on prevention, identification, response and reporting of abuse.
- Training programs for children and young people that include materials on personal safety.
- A mechanism for background checks of all personnel who have regular contact with minors.

Celebrations, including Mass, are essential for family life, says Pope Francis.

2021/22 Family Ministry & Sacramental PrepRegistration for Classes for Sacremental Prep began August 14.
Classes began for children/teens on Sunday, September 12;
registration closed on Friday, September 17!
If your child was not baptized at Our Lady of the Valley Parish (Caldwell, Homedale, Parma, Marsing), we will need a copy of your child's baptismal certificate.
Parents: Our parish goal is to Know, Love and Serve God and our Neighbor. A few years ago, we discovered barriers for families being able to fully engage this goal. We wanted to make our programs work together for families. Adult Ministry is a great way to learn and grow in your faith while your children are in class. We provide child care for children 6 months to 3 years in the Cry Room for parents attending adult ministry sessions on Sundays after Masses. A Parent Contract must be filled out the first time you leave your child with the care providers.
We need a tremendous amount of partnership from p a rishioners to be sustainable—partnership in small groups, teaching, snacks, setup, cleanup, greeting, coordination, and logistics. Please consider volunteering. Your commitment can be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or sporadic. We hope you will engage your entire family in our parish this year. May the Lord guide our head, heart, and hands as Family Ministry begins.
A new Medical/Liability waiver must be filled out for each child in the sacramental prep (in-person) program . You can download one for each child, fill out and bring with you or they will be available at registration and in the parish office.

What is Family Ministry?Que es "Ministerio Familiar?"
Adults
For families with children PreK-12 that are interested in continuing religious education (not needing a sacrament this year), we are offering an at-home program. Children will still need to be registered. If your child attended Family Ministry during the past year, you will receive a Flocknote. Reply YES if you'd like to receive the at-home program. If you are new to the parish, please call or come in to the parish office to register.
El proposito de nuestra parroquia es conocer, amar y servir a Dios y al prójimo, pero en el último año, hemos descubierto barreras para las familias y no pueden participar plenamente con este proposito. Queremos que nuestros programas ayuden a las familias. Elegimos los nuevos horarios, cambiamos los horarios de nuestras Misas, e hicimos lo possible para que este disponible para todas las edades. El Ministerio Familiar se ofrecera dos veces por semana:
10:00-11:00am el domingoLas familias pueden elegir una de las dos sesiones para asistir juntos. En cada sesión, los descansos para todas las edades estarán disponibles para los grados 2-3, 4-5 de 6-8, y 9-12 Los domingos, hemos añadido cuidado de los niños de seis meses a cuatro años y la formación de adultos en Inglés y Español.
1:00-2:00pm el domingo
Tenemos una enorme apoyo de los miembros de la parroquia para que este cambio sea posible y sostenible referente con grupos pequeños, enseñanza, bocadillos, instalación, limpieza, registro, hospitalidad, la coordinación y organización así que por favor considera participar en este emocionante y nuevo proyecto. Tu compromiso puede ser semanal, cada dos semanas, mensual o ocasionalmente. Esperamos que usted tome ventaja de estos cambios y involucre a su familia entera, no importa la edad, en nuestra parroquia este año. Que el Señor guíe nuestras mentes, corazones y manos para comenzar el Ministerio Familiar. -
