RELIGIOUS EDUCATION REGISTRATION
Registration for fall sessions is now in progress. All Catholic children attending public schools should attend religious education classes so that they may be well grounded in our faith and be prepared for the sacraments. Religious Education registration packets for September 2012/2013 have been mailed to families of current students. Additional packets and information will be available in the rectory and on the tables in the rear of the church for families with children new to the program. Religious Education sessions for children in grades K through 6 are held on Wednesdays or Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. Sessions for grades 7 & 8 are on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. You may either mail or drop off your completed forms to the Catechetical Office in the rectory. By registering before June 15, it enables us to plan class sizes and recruit the needed number of catechists.
Registration for First Grade Dont delay registering your first grader! Our First Reconciliation and Eucharist preparation begins in grade one. Children generally receive First Reconciliation in the second grade and First Communion in the third grade after they have experienced full preparation during those three years. Call or visit the Catechetical Office with any questions (908-464-8156). The Catechetical Office is located in the Rectory and is open from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily. Other hours are available by appointment.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED BECOMING A CATECHIST? One of the most rewarding things you can do is share your faith with the youth of our parish as a catechist in our Religious Education Program. The requirements are simple: a love for God, love for our Catholic faith, and a willingness to spread the news of Jesus Christ.
Catechists are needed for the following grades: Wednesday Grades K, 3, and 6 Thursdays Grades K, 1, 4, 5, and 6
Call the Parish Catechetical Office at (908)464- 8156 for details. By sharing your faith, you grow in faith!
THE RESULTS ARE IN!
Through the amazing generosity of our parish, including parishioners, the children of the Academy and our Religious Education Program, we were able to raise: $3,452.98
Working through Food for the Poor, this amount is enough to build a house with sanitation for a needy family in Haiti.
Once the house is built, we will publish a photo of our sponsored family standing in front of their new home.
Thank you for your generosity. May God bless everyone who participated in our parish wide Lenten Project. Parish Catechetical Office
