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.
