First Communion Announcements
FREE ADULT FAITH FORMATION
They will be informal conversations about our Catholic faith and how it pertains to your child and your family. The sessions will take place while your child is attending Religious Education class. They are being offered simply as an opportunity for growth in your faith in Christ and to help you share that faith with your children and family. It would be a great way to spend your time while you are here, and a bonus of not having to go out and come back to pick up your child, or having to wait outside in the heat! There is no charge, obligation, or registration involved. Simply go to Room D after you drop off your child. If you need assistance finding the room, let us know when you drop off your child. May the Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and your family always! |
OPENING RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MASS - SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16
Please remember that we are having our opening Religious Education Mass of the year this coming Sunday:  Time: 11:15 am Location: Church As we kickoff this new catechetical year, we are celebrating this Mass so that all the children, families, and catechists of the Religious Education Program can come together to pray and celebrate, united as one community in Christ. Our Music Ministry choir will be singing and leading us in giving praise to God. Students from our Confirmation classes will be participating in the various roles of the Mass. Our Catechists will also be commissioned in their important mission of passing on the faith to our children and families. We look forward to seeing all of you and your families at our opening Mass this Sunday! Thank you, and God bless you. |
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MASSES, 2018-2019
We are excited to share that throughout the
year, there will be several Masses that will be especially dedicated to
the Religious Education Program. Our Music Ministry choir will be
preparing the music for each of these Masses and lead us in giving
praise to God. Students in a specific group or grade level will be
assigned to participate in the liturgy as lectors, offertory bearers,
greeters, etc. Our goal for having these Religious Education Masses throughout the year is to bring together the children, families, and catechists of the Religious Education Program to pray and celebrate, united as one community in Christ.  As noted on the calendar you received at registration, these are the dates of our Masses for this catechetical year:
Throughout the year, we will be recruiting students to participate in the various roles of the Mass. We are counting on your support and assistance to make all of our Religious Education Masses a success! We look forward to seeing you and your families at our Religious Education Masses throughout this year! Thank you, and God bless you. |
WELCOME TO THE 2018-2019 CATECHETICAL YEAR!
 We take this opportunity to welcome you to the beginning of the St. Kevin Religious Education Program for the 2018–2019 Catechetical Year! Please remember our classes begin this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of class. The children will gather in the hall of the school, and their catechist will bring them to their classroom for the start of class. Please have your child bring a pen or a pencil, and we also recommend a folder to hold any papers the catechist may give them on the first day and each class thereafter. The catechist will let your child know if they need to bring any other supplies for future classes. In addition, please be here on time to pick up your child(ren) at the end of class. Please be sure to read our Religious Education Handbook on our website at www.stkevinrep.org, under the “GENERAL CLASS INFO” tab.
