Adult Faith Formation (RCIA). The program for this year will begin in the fall at 7:00pm and will continue every Week (weather permitting) until Holy Week.   The program is for adults who wish to receive the sacraments of Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation.  Additionally, it is for adult Catholics to "brush up" on their faith or have a clearer understanding.

If you are interested or know anyone who may be please call the rectory.

• If your child is sick or has been exposed to someone who has been tested for and diagnosed with covid, or is experiencing any symptoms, please keep them home and contact the Parish Office.
• All children must be accompanied to the front door of the Religious Education Building.  The parent MUST review and sign the Covid Screening Form before EACH class session. The childs temperature will be taken before they may enter the building.
• All children, parents and teachers MUST wear a mask at ALL times while standing in line outside and while inside the building.
• Class sizes for grades 1 & 3-6 will not exceed 9 students.  If we have more children than nine, we will split the class in half and they will meet every other week.  The Sacramental preparation grades (2, 7 & 8) will meet weekly regardless of the size, and will be relocated if neccesary to accomadate the larger class size.
• Each student should have a shoe box or other container for their books,  pens, pencils and crayons with their name on it.  We are doing this so that they are the only ones handling their things.  The box is to be left under their seats at the end of each class session.
• Hand sanitizer will be provided in the foyer, outside the bathrooms and in each classroom.
• The students will be released one grade at a time to control congregating.
• Classrooms and bathrooms will be sanitized each week prior to classes resuming the following week.
• Mass attendance is still an integral part of their faith formation.  The Sunday 8:30am Mass is Live-streamed on Facebook and is available to view from home or in your car from a Phone, Laptop or Tablet. In addition, all Sunday Masses are broadcast on FM 91.7  so you can listen to it on your car radio and we have installed outdoor speakers so you can listen to Mass from the parking lot.  Communion is distributed outside the main door of the church for those who are outside.
