Children in Your Parish's Eucharistic Procession on June 11th

According to the Knights of Columbus' Eucharist Procession Guide, In many places, the children who have just received their 1st Communion are given a place of honor in the Corpus Christi Procession sprinkling flower petals at the front of the procession.

An opportunity to get the kiddos dressed up in their First Communion finery before they grow out of it!

Gabriel Hint from the Office of Parish Operations & Mission Planning: PDR!

As you prepare for Religious Ed registration for 2023-2024, we hope you are finding GabrielSoft’s on-line RE Registration process beneficial. If you need help getting started you can find resources on Gabriel’s help center or click here. Resources are also available on the Diocese resource site Support : Parish Support (freshdesk.com), much of which links back to the GabrielSoft resources. 

Please note there is an certain order to be followed if you used the on-line registration for 2022-23. Let’s call it PDR: Promote, Delete, Register!

1. Promote your students. This will add the student RE history information, set the student to “Passed” and, in the committee for RE Students bump them up to the next grade level. 

2. Delete your previous year’s registrations from Registration Maintenance page (select all the students, choose Actions, and Delete)

3. Register: Set up your online Registration for Fall classes.

. . . and speaking of Franciscan at Home . . .

If you're in the throes of seeking new catechists for the Fall, please encourage your prospective and new catechists to take a Franciscan at Home workshop.

A great place to start would be "The Vocation of the Catechist." Here's why:

• The workshop is online; the video segments are 8-10minutes each, and participants can complete the workshop on their own timeline, in their own surroundings.
• The workshop is completely free (thanks to Bishop's Appeal and grant funding)
• The workshop fulfills a requirement for catechetical certification.
• The workshop is informative and inspiring regarding the mission of catechesis and the role of catechist.

As leader, you'll be able to track the progress of your catechists and offer encouragement or answer questions along the way. If YOU need help getting started on the Franciscan at Home, please contact Sheila Re at [email protected].
