2020-2021 Religious Education program
Please know our prayers are with your families during this time.In light of the uncertainty of our times and what is happening in our world due to COVID-19, we have formulated a new model for faith formation delivery for the upcoming 2020-2021 Religious Education year. This model will ensure a safe environment for delivering our Religious Education program to St. Joseph’s students.
On Sept 27th, 2020 parents received a link from our online learning partner, My Catholic Faith Delivered. The e-mail came from admin@mycatholicfaithdelivered.com. The subject line reads: Your account has been created. Please make sure to click on the link once you receive it and accept the course for which your child is registered. If you do not do this within 7 days of receiving the e-mail you may be locked out. Please check your spam/junk folders if you do not see the e-mail in your inbox. Your child may then begin to complete his/her lessons online completing one lesson per week beginning the week of October 4th (or sooner if you wish). Your child should compete a minimum of 2 lessons before his/her first Virtual ZOOM session with a Catechist beginning the week of October 18th.
Children will complete one session per week. Each session will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. There are 3-4 sessions per unit. The program tracks time , sessions and test scores.
Each lesson has both a pre-test and a post-test that must be taken for each leson to be marked as complete. At the end of a group of sessions is a Unit test . All tests must be completed with a passing grade of 65. If a student does not achieve the passing grade the first time he/she may go back and retake it in order to achieve passing grade and master the content.
The students will be required to meet virtually with a Catechist on a scheduled day/time for 2 lessons per month to engage in prayer and reinforcing materials from the lessons. The students can participate in discussion and questions with the Catechist(s).
