FAITH FORMATION NEWS – RELIGIOUS ED

A Very Blessed and Joy-filled New Year to All of Our Religious Education Families!
  Confirmation II teens will begin their Confirmation classes with Mr. and Mrs. DiRosa on January 8th. We ask that they come to the 12noon Mass and their classes will be in the Parma Room from 1:15pm – 2:30pm. Confirmation I teens will still come to the 12noon Mass starting January 8th and will have LifeTeen from 1:15pm-2:30pm.

We are in need of parents volunteering to bring food in for LifeTeen sessions. We have 48 teens in this program. We would so appreciate anything that you could bring to help out.

God bless you all and to all of you Christ’s joy, peace and love, Sister Elizabeth Schilling, DRE

Lent is around the corner. This year the children will be making their own sacrificial donations for Belize. Soon they will be making their boxes that they will take home and collect money in for Belize. At the end of Lent they will bring these in and offer them for the poor and needy of Belize.

The catechists are putting together projects and activities that the children will also be involved in during Lent, so that they are giving money donations for Belize and then, doing service for the those who are in need around our parish area. Ask your children what they will be doing, watch for notes that they bring home and talk with your child’s teacher. Let us teach our children, in what we do and in what we have them do, the true meaning of Lent.
