Welcome
February, 2010
Dear Parents,
Welcome to all families of new and returning students! It is time to
register your children for Religious Education Program for the
2010-2011 year. We hope that you are as
excited as we are because every child has a special place in our
program that no one else can fill. Therefore, we look forward to
seeing every student at every class and all the activities planned
throughout the year!
Please review carefully the schedule of classes being offered for
the coming year. Keep in mind that certain class times fill up
quickly. In order to secure the session you prefer, you are strongly
encouraged to register as soon as possible. Session preferences are
more easily accommodated when registration is made March through
May.

A.M. to 10:45 A.M Grades Pre-K through 6

same day and time unless parents request that this not be done.

ATTENTION—STUDENTS OF SUNDAY SESSIONS
Please plan to attend Mass with your child each
weekend. It is a great concern to us that many families do not
attend Mass on a regular basis. Class is in no way a substitute for
Sunday Mass.
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED AT REGISTRATION

The program is offered to all families registered in
the parish.

receiving contribution envelopes or any other mailing from the

easy, uncomplicated matter that is done through the Rectory Office.

Communion

Transfer Students must provide a letter of transfer
from their previous Religious
Education Program verifying religious instruction

accepted without payment.
A SPECIAL APPEAL!!!
Your help is always
welcome! Our most important need is for Catechists and Catechist
Aides but other volunteers are needed as well. Please consider
giving some time to this important ministry. Catechists and
Catechist Aides are provided with user-friendly curriculum texts and
ongoing support & resources. Think about the call of your Baptism
and Confirmation…you can do it! Stop by the Religious Education
Office to see us!
