Dear Faith Formation Friends,
We made it to September. Last night we had our first Parent Meeting with over 30 families represented in person and through video call. You talked. We listened. During the meeting the staff of the Faith Formation Office took notes and we all have action items.
One of the items brought up is regarding First Communion Mass Sign Ups. All five (5) Masses each weekend of the Easter Season are available. The Sign Up Genius will be posted at 6PM this evening, when you receive this email. First come, first serve.
Printing has been overwhelming in the past. As a result, the majority of documents produced from the Faith Formation Office will be posted and updated regularly on our webpages.
The new "One Faith" friends of Faith Formation community council was introduced. Stefanie McAuliffe is the chairperson and is organizing parents and friends to come together. This group will not only help with the many different activities, but also for sharing ideas and listening to concerns. The first meeting will be at 3PM on Wednesday 9/23 in person and through video call.
Another big rock item from the meeting was to have a Directory of Catechists. I created the webpage and will send out an email to all catechists to give us a little bio and some fun facts about themselves as well as a picture. We will post this to the parish website as soon as we start getting information from them. There is a link below for any catechist that would like to fill it out now.
The motto attributed to St. Benedict is, Ora et Labora or Prayer and Work. We borrowed the phrase for the title of this periodic newsletter to parents.
I apologize for the length of this email, I will do better in the future.
We are all looking forward to a new year of learning about Jesus and His Church as a community of faith!
