RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM UPDATE

As you may have heard, starting this week, Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Miami began to phase in those students who would like to return to the classrooms.  However, capacity in the classrooms remains limited, along with the need to adopt and implement many new protocols for cleaning, sanitizing, screening, face masks, social distancing, etc.    The Religious Education Program follows the guidance of the Office of Catechesis of the Archdiocese of Miami, and not the Office of Catholic Schools.  The Office of Catechesis of the Archdiocese of Miami has stated that, to ensure the safety of all our students and catechists, Religious Education Programs should continue with the online learning plans already in place until we can fully use the classrooms of the school.    Therefore, students in the Religious Education Program will continue with classes being held and taught virtually (online) until further notice.   We will reevaluate the situation at a later time, under the guidance of the Office of Catechesis, with regards to the return of our students to the classroom with religious education classes being held at the parish.   Thank you, and God bless you.
