Faith Formation Updates…

Sunday, April 5th – Easter Sunday!

Grade/Level 7 – Saint reports and Letters to the Pastor are past due.  Please contact the Faith Formation office immediately if you haven’t already submitted this to the office.  Community service should continue in April, and 20 hours of service are due in May.  Confirmation interviews will be scheduled once all requirements have been met.  Grade/Level 7 young disciples must complete a confirmation interview in order to proceed to sacrament prep Year 2.

Sunday, April 12th  – Divine Mercy Sunday!   We are encouraged to participate in the sacrament of confession and receive Holy Communion.  Through the writings of Saint Faustina, we learn that, if we do so, we can obtain complete forgiveness of our sins and the punishment due to them.  Divine Mercy Sunday is marked by special prayers, devotions, and the veneration of the Divine Mercy image which depicts Jesus with rays of mercy flowing from His heart.

Our call to family Mass at 9:30 AM each Sunday continues!  All grades/levels are reminded to attend weekly family Mass. 

“To hand onto your children
the faith you received from your parents,
is your first duty
and your greatest privilege as parents.
The home should be the first school of religion,
as it must be the first school of prayer.”

– Bl. Louise-Therese de Montaignac de Chauvance, Apostle of the Sacred Heart

Please remember to practice (at a minimum) the basic Catholic prayers of The Our Father, The Hail Mary, and the Glory Be individually (or ideally as a family) each and every day (and night)!
