Hello!
I hope you are all still hanging in there. It looks like this will be our normal for a good while now! I miss see you each week and am praying for your families. Please let me know if there is anything that you need from me during this time.
I wanted to remind families about the website I launched when things first started being cancelled. On the website you can find:
- Up to date information on what IC-OLPH and the Archdiocese is doing and saying about COVID-19
- Lesson plans for families to work together on for Confirmation
- Confirmation Sponsor workbook for those who were affected by the cancelation of the sponsor/candidate class
- Lesson plans for Middle Schoolers who are preparing for First Holy Communion
- Different ways to practice our faith in the absence of Eucharist
It is important to note that in the top left hand corner of the website you will find a menu which will direct you to specific areas.
A few of you have mentioned that you missed it initially, so I attached a picture below to help you see what I am talking about! If you are a teen preparing for First Communion of Confirmation this is particularly important because that's where you will find the online lessons and forms. I have also linked them directly below. Please let me know if you have any questions about that piece. I had originally set the due date for April 5th but with the Confirmation date being pushed back and all the choas of what has been continually happening with covid-19, school closures, etc
I am more than willing to work with families who haven't yet completed those lessons yet!
I also wanted to inform everyone that with the extension of stay-at-home orders and school closures,
we will have to move the Confirmation Liturgy to a new date.
As soon as I know when that will be, I will pass that information along. I am currently working the the Archdiocese to plan a new date for our parishes.
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of this!
Many Blessings,
Kelsie
