OPENING RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MASS - Sunday, September 20
This Sunday, the Church in the United States celebrates Catechetical Sunday, the national day that celebrates the ministry of catechesis and religious education. As such, the 11:15 am Mass this Sunday, September 20th, will be celebrated and dedicated especially for the students, families, and catechists of our Religious Education Program.  As
we kickoff this new catechetical year, we ask you to please join
together with us in the celebration of the Eucharist. As mentioned at
the Welcome Orientation, while the situation continues to improve, we
know that many of you, for one reason or another, are unable to come to
the parish for the celebration of the Mass. The capacity of the church
also remains limited for social distancing. That is why the
Mass is being livestreamed on the church's Please join us for our Mass via livestream on the Church's
Our Catechists will also be commissioned in their important mission of passing on the faith to our children and families. We look forward to having you and your families join us, whether virtually or at the parish, as we pray and celebrate during our opening Mass this Sunday! Thank you, and God bless you. |
Welcome Orientation Follow-Up (General Faith Formation)

Your child’s catechist will be emailing you the information and the link to connect to their online class. Please make sure to follow the instructions that they send in order to successfully join the class.
