Code of Conduct

As a representative of the Holy Spirit Catholic Community and the values it represents:

I agree to present myself in a respectful manner – no inappropriate clothing i.e. No midriffs, no tee shirts with inappropriate slogans, no colored hair, etc.

Everyone has the right to feel comfortable and safe – I agree to behave respectfully toward all others – i.e.: Be kind to your peers, don’t harass others, keep your hands to yourself, respectfully obey all chaperones, listen politely during meetings.

Everyone has the right to enjoy healthy competition/competitive games – I agree to abide by the stated rules of the games, follow the directives of the chaperone referees and maintain good sportsmanship at all times.

We have the privilege of using the Youth Room, the gym and the bathrooms by the gym. I agree to limit my presence to those areas only, (unless otherwise indicated at the beginning of a meeting.)

Middle School Youth Activities are “technology free”. This includes meetings, adventures and travel to and from those adventures. (Cell phones will be held securely by the your minister coordinators and/or chaperones with all privacy respected. They will be available to the youths as needed upon request – no questions asked.) I agree to respect this “technology free” policy and hand over my devices when requested to do so.

I agree to abide by the Middle School Youth Ministry Code of Conduct, as listed above. I realize that if I violate any part of it, I will be asked to leave the meeting at that time and will not be permitted to attend the next function. Parents agree to pick up their youth should it be requested of them.

Attendance at regular Friday meetings will be used to determine participation on the “adventures” when space is an issue.

Our goal is to provide the youth of our parish community with a spiritual and social environment that adheres to the mission of our group, taking responsibility for Catholic moral values and a loving respect for the right of all persons as taught by Jesus.
