All parents are expected to attend the 5 parent meetings

Dear Parents,

Due to Covid 19 we have had to get creative to help families negotiate their busy and ever adapting schedules.  Parent Meetings are offered monthly to support parents as they accompany their children on their spiritual journey.

Our second meeting is Monday, November 2 at 7 pm. We will discuss H.S. and On-Campus Lessons thus far. We will also discuss the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Meeting 1 – Monday, Oct. 5 – Program Overview - See handouts...
Meeting 2 – Monday, Nov. 2 - First Reconciliation
Meeting 3 – Monday, Jan. 4 - The Eucharist
Meeting 4 – Monday, Feb. 1 - First Communion
Meeting 5 – Monday, Mar. 1 - Prayer, Study & Worship

One of the most powerful ways we impart our Faith to our children is through living by example and as active participants in their Faith formation.  It is our hope and prayer that you are talking about and encouraging preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation in addition to the weekly Religious Education classes.  We invite you to work with your child on a routine basis over the Christmas holiday break so that they will be well prepared for their First Penance.

ATTIRE:  with reverance to the Sacrament, appropriate Church attire is expected; in past girls have worn white and also other Church-appropriate attire:  both are acceptable.  Boys have worn white, and other Church-appropriate attire (Khakis/blue blazer, tie, etc.)
