A Note from Driskill's Desk

Happy Summer!

As the Easter season transitions into Ordinary Time after Pentecost, we're cherishing moments with family and friends. Religious education classes are wrapping up, and we're thrilled for our Good Shepherd First Communion programs, with Reconciliation on June 6th and First Communion on June 7th.

Summer also kicks off with Vacation Bible School for our younger children, and some middle and high school students will be off to LifeTeen camps!

Archdiocese Safe Environment Protocols

The Archdiocese of San Antonio provides several resources and videos to parishes in an effort to help programs talk to students and parents about safety measures.


In the month of October and April, our Faith Formation programs will be going over some safe environment and boundary topics with our students. Each program coordinator will provide you with more information on specifics.


If you would like to learn more about what the Archdiocese offers or to watch videos for specific age levels, check out the following links:

Safety Procedures

The safety of our students, families, volunteers, and staff is a top priority for our Faith Formation Ministry. It is important to us that parents feel comfortable and confident while their children attend classes at SEAS. We take several steps to ensure we are providing a safe environment for all.

Each of our volunteers and all of the staff are required to take Safe Environment Trainings. Our Good Shepherd and Elementary students must be picked up from their classroom to guarantee that they leave with a trusted adult.

To help with safety measures, we ask that parents read the below handbook provided by the Archdiocese of San Antonio.

Please let us know if you ever have a safety concern.
