The Catholic Bishops of Chicago and Queen of Martyrs & St. Bernadette Parish, their agents and volunteers are committed to conducting programs & activities in the safest manner possible and hold the safety of participants in the highest regard. Participants and parents registering their child in these programs must recognize however that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in such activities. The Catholic Bishops of Chicago, Queen of Martyrs & St. Bernadette Parish, and their agents insist participants follow safety rules and instructions, which are designed to protect their safety. Please recognize that the Catholic Bishops of Chicago and Queen of Martyrs & St. Bernadette Parish do not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in this program. Therefore, people registering should review their own health insurance policy for coverage.

Please read this carefully & be aware you are waiving all claims for injuries or sickness you or your minor might sustain arising out of participation. I understand that the activity will take place on the parish premises and that my child will be under supervision. (Activities where there is physical activity such as outdoors or sporting activities have an inherent risk to sprained ankles, muscle pulls, bruises, back, neck and head injuries, and including death). I further consent to the conditions stated on participation in this event, I hereby release and indemnify Queen of Martyrs & St. Bernadette Parish and their agents, its staff and its volunteers, and Catholic Bishop of Chicago, a corporation sole, from any and all liability rising from claims of any kind of nature whatsoever from my child’s participation in this event. *
