RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MASSES, 2019-2020
Dear Parents: 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 asking the 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 2019-2020 CATECHETICAL YEAR
 We take this opportunity to welcome you to the beginning of the St. Kevin Religious Education Program for the 2019–2020 Catechetical Year! For the first day of class, we will have our Welcome Orientation for this catechetical year. At least one of the parents MUST be present with their child(ren) at the Welcome Orientation. ALL PARENTS AND STUDENTS are to go directly to the Parish Hall by 6:30 pm, where you will receive information regarding what to expect for this year. You and your child will also have the chance to meet your child’s catechist for this year. Please remember that attendance at the Welcome Orientation is mandatory for ALL students and parents, and your attendance will count as a class day in terms of your child’s attendance for this year. Please be sure to read our Religious Education Handbook on our website at www.stkevinrep.org, under the “GENERAL CLASS INFO” tab. It contains all the policies that will be followed and enforced, including attendance policy, dress code, and drop-off and dismissal procedures.
