All Confirmation candidates are expected to join in the Pilgrimage, which will be on November 6.  (We selected that day because many schools have the day off. 

If your child's school is in session, I will be glad to contact the principal and explain that this outing is educational and part of Confirmation preparation.) Please give me the information to get in touch with the principal.

We will go to several sites important for the history of the Catholic Church in Chicago.  I joke that kids get on the bus thinking they will be bored to tears, but I enjoy counting the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' as we see the sites.

If parents are free, they are also welcome to join us for the trip.

Quick info about the day:

• All students need to bring is a sack lunch. We will supply drinks.
• Dress should be appropriate for visiting churches, with no shorts, bare midriffs, torn jeans or slogan t-shirts.
• Meet at St. Emily at 8:00 AM for an 8:30 AM departure.

The permission slip is linked here.   All students - both from St. Emily School and Religious Education - need to bring this.  If you have not turned it in, bring it with you on Tuesday.

Thank you to all who have journaled recently. I really enjoyed reading them.

we will be in touch shortly.  It isn't too late to begin, but you need to catch up!

You can find ideas on these lists for things to do in your everyday life.
