CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE AND LIABILITY RELEASE:
I am the parent or legal guardian of the above Participant, who is under 18 years of age and will participate in Steubenville High School Youth Conference. I am fully competent to sign this Agreement, and I grant permission for my son/daughter to participate in all youth activities and functions. I understand that as parent/guardian/conservator, I remain legally responsible for any personal actions taken by my son/daughter. I recognize the inherent risk associated with the various youth activities that my son/daughter will be participating in. I agree on behalf of myself, my son/daughter named herein, my heirs, successors, and assigns to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Christ the Redeemer Catholic Parish and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, their employees and/or volunteers from any and all claims (unless due to the Sole or Gross NEGLIGENCE of the Parish) for illness, injury, death, and the cost of medical treatment therewith, arising from or in any way connected with my son/daughter participating and/or attending the various youth programs and activities during this formation year noted above. In the event any legal action is taken by either party against the other party to enforce any of the terms and conditions of this release, it is agreed that the unsuccessful party to such action shall pay to the prevailing party therein all reasonable court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party.

Audio/Visual Recording and Photography Consent:
On occasion, video recordings, audio recordings, photographic slides, and photographs are taken of children and youth during church and diocesan sponsored activities. These are utilized in newsletters, websites, event promotion, advertisements and other printed media. As the State of Texas does not prevent audio or video recording or the photographing of children/youth (with the exception of Senate Bill 1, Section 26.009, which deals specifically with school districts), it does encourage parental consent. Additionally, current video recordings and photographs assist law enforcement agencies dealing with the Missing Children’s Program. I release the staff and volunteers of Christ the Redeemer Catholic Parish and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston from any liability connected with the use of my child’s picture or audio/video recording as part of any of the above or similar activities.

My child will bring all such medications, well labeled, that are necessary. Names of medications and concise directions for seeing that the child takes such medications, including dosage and frequency are as follows:

I/we, the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the Participant, and as such do hereby authorize Christ the Redeemer Catholic Parish, its youth ministry leaders, employees, contractors and volunteers as agent(s) for the undersigned to consent to any x-ray examination, anesthetic, medical, dental, or surgical diagnosis or treatment, and hospital care which is deemed advisable by, and is to be rendered under the general or specific supervision of any physician or surgeon licensed under the laws of the jurisdiction where such diagnosis or treatment may be given, whether such diagnosis or treatment is rendered at the office of said physician, at a hospital, or at any other location. It is understood that this authorization is given in advance of any specific treatment or diagnosis, but is given to provide authority and power of treatment, or hospital care which the aforementioned physician in the exercise of best judgment may deem advisable.
