Release and Waiver of Liability
*
I voluntarily participate in the SBVOC Christmas Posada on behalf of myself and all minors in my party. I understand activities include an outdoor evening procession with open-flame candles, walking on uneven ground in low light, food service, a piñata, and group activities, which involve inherent risks of injury, illness, or property loss. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release, waive, and hold harmless the Roman Catholic Bishop of San Bernardino, a corporation sole, the Diocese of San Bernardino, the Office of Vocations, Serra House of Formation, and their clergy, employees, volunteers and agents from any claims arising from participation, except those caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct. I am responsible for my personal belongings.
Emergency Medical Treatment Authorization
*
In an emergency, if I or the parent/guardian cannot be reached, I authorize event staff to seek emergency medical treatment for me and the minors in my party, and I accept responsibility for related costs.
Candle & Fire Safety
*
I will use only the candles/candle guards provided or battery candles, keep flames away from hair, clothing and decorations, and make sure children carry only battery-operated candles.
Food & Allergen Acknowledgment
*
Food is prepared by volunteers and community members in kitchens that may contain common allergens (nuts, dairy, shellfish, gluten, eggs, soy). The organizers cannot guarantee allergen-free food. I am responsible for what I and the minors in my party eat.
Code of Conduct
*
This is a Catholic, family event. I agree to respectful behavior; no alcohol, cannabis, tobacco/vaping, weapons, or illegal substances on the grounds; to follow the instructions of staff and procession marshals; and that the organizers may ask anyone who endangers others to leave. Residential areas of Serra House are off-limits.

I understand the event is mostly outdoors, may be modified or moved indoors for weather, and that updates will be sent to the email/phone I provided.
