Dear Religious Education Parent,
I hope that this New Year of 2021 brings all of us much health and blessings from God.
Our decision to have our Religious Education Program remotely and online was the prudent thing to do. With all of the uncertainty with schools closing – opening, we wanted our families to have some form of stability with regard to the Religious Education of your children.
We began our school year a bit later and given you all of the expectations for a successful completion of this year’s Religious Education Program.
I will be asking Mrs. Crozier for an update about weekly assessments, attendance at Zoom classes as well as Mass Attendance sheets for those in the 2nd & 8th grade.
For those of you who can come to Mass we welcome you to a very safe space- (just as safe if not safer than WalMart, Home Depot etc.)
Your prayers and financial support are very important especially during these days. We encourage you to use our envelope system or our online giving:

Our staff and dedicated catechists take very seriously their obligation to teach the faith to your children. We know that you take that obligation seriously as well. In the event that any of our children are falling behind or are not meeting the necessary requirements we will be reaching out to you to make sure all is in order for your child to successfully complete this year’s Religious Education Program.
Please be assured of my thoughts and prayers for you and your family. Merry Christmas- Happy New Year
In Jesus & Mary,
Rev. Father John M.Lagiovane
Pastor
