First Communion Families  
The Candle Mass for all children preparing to make their First Communion is scheduled for 6 pm, Saturday, January 25th. At this mass, children preparing for First Communion will receive a First Eucharist candle in remembrance of this special year. Invite the whole family.
 
A parent meeting regarding the First Eucharist Program is scheduled for Monday, February 3rd at 6:40 pm and Tuesday, February 4th at 4:25 pm in the Canfield Center. All of the paperwork for First Communion will be distributed at this meeting.  It is important for parents to attend one of these sessions. Babysitting will be available for younger siblings, but you must call 885-7022 to reserve a spot. 
   
 
Eighth Grade Confirmation Families
The Confirmation Candidate and Sponsor Workshop is scheduled for Sunday, January 12th at 3:45 pm in the school cafeteria. If your child's sponsor is unable to attend, a parent should accompany the student to this event.  The afternoon will be an informative, inspiring and faith-filled experience.  Parents and family members should plan to join us for mass at 6:00 pm in the church. This special liturgy will include the Ritual of Enrollment for the Confirmation candidates where they will formally be acknowledged and blessed as they continue their final preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. 

Seventh and Eighth Grade Families

Snow Closing Policy
If it is necessary to cancel classes, we will send out an e-mail. Feel free to call our office if you are in doubt. We do not necessarily follow the Grosse Pointe Schools' decisions regarding closing because our classes start so much later in the day. Very often the snow has cleared by the time our classes are scheduled to begin.
