• Most of you know that our Seminarian-in-Residence, Thomas Maddock has been leading the beginning of most RE Sessions with Evening Prayer this year. Because we want to give the children as much continuity and familiar structure as possible, we are working right now to record Evening Prayer so it can be included in this weekly email for you and your children to pray along with. Following the singing of Evening Prayer, Thomas or I will give a short catechesis on the Liturgical Calendar (Church Calendar) including any special Saint's Feast Days or Holy Days as we have all year. Please try to participate with your child in the prayers and little lesson. We hope it will bless your entire family!

• The next very exciting development is making our Faith and Life Textbooks available to each student through the platform My Catholic Faith Delivered. Some of our students already use this service, but now we are working to get access for all of our students. Hopefully we will have news on that in a day or two. Even if we aren't able to upload all our our students, we will include scanned pages from your child's Textbook and Activity Book for each grade each week. The publisher of our books is being very generous to allow us to utilize any means to keep our children's religious education a top priority!

• Finally, most all of our volunteer catechists are wanting to stay in contact with their classes. Unfortunately, some simply are not able to continue since their lives have also drastically changed. However, we are working to make sure that every RE Student has a catechist who will stay in touch with them via the student's primary parent email or phone number as given to us on the Student Registration Form. Some of you have already received notes from your children's catechists! They are all wonderful volunteers, and we appreciate each one of them.
