Dear Parents:
Thank you for sending your children to Faith Formation. In today’s world, we sometimes forget the words of the Baltimore Catechism: “Why are we here? To know, love and serve God and to be happy with Him in heaven.” Thank you for making their Faith a priority.
Classes begin on the 19th of September, Grade 8 Confirmation Class begins the following Sunday, September 26th. All classes begin at 9:15 till 10:30. On the second Sunday of the month, we have coffee and doughnut Sunday. If your child attends, they must be in the classroom at 9:15. Late entrance disrupts the class for everyone. The schedule is on the Sacred Heart web. A second-semester schedule will be published soon. For those wondering about the dates for sacraments, First Communion is on Mother’s Day and Confirmation is in the Spring. We will let you know as soon as we hear from the Diocese.
Focus this year will be:- To increase the child’s knowledge of and devotion to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
- To increase the child’s knowledge of the New Testament. Grades 4-8 will be using a New Testament with the intensity of use varying with grade level.
- To increase knowledge and appreciation of the role of Sacred Music as a means of prayer and worship during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Grades 2,3,4, and 5 will begin their classes with a brief lesson on a hymn. This may not happen every week but frequently. The Director of this learning experience is our Parish Choir Director, Roger Castanien. Mr. Castanien brings a graduate education and wide experience in sacred music. Please encourage your children to fully participate in the music part of the liturgy.
