Quick Question....
Parents are the primary influencers in a child’s faith formation, but parish Faith Formation classes can play a big role as well. If your child is currently in 1st grade, they will not be allowed to prepare for or celebrate the sacraments of First Reconciliation and Eucharist next year without at least a year of Faith Formation or Catholic school. The same goes for 8th grade Confirmation, only the preparation requirements are more than a year. Your current 7th grader will not be ready for that sacrament next year without multiple years of Faith Formation or Catholic school.

Parents, raising your children in the faith is your job, but we can help! Register for PreK through 7th grade Faith Formation and sacraments HERE. Register for 8th grade Confirmation HERE. Classes begin in October.

Our Parish Mourns the Death of
Maxine (Judge) Raway
Kelly Lorentz

You may find the obituaries HERE. If not, some funerals are private and not all details are shared, or the obituary may not be published yet. May they rest in peace.
Your Help is Needed!
It seems ironic that most adults want their children formed in the faith and practicing their faith, yet few, if any, answer the call to help in that effort. We need faith-filled adults to live their baptismal call and help form children in the faith. Why you? Why NOT you?

We have opportunities on different days, at different times and in many grade levels. Please prayerfully consider helping us. We will help you in this effort, your faith will grow stronger and our children will be served. Please contact me for more information or to offer your time and talent.

Thank you!

Do You Like to Sew?
Make a taggie blanket with a 10”x10” fleece center and our school will take care of the embroidery! Drop off your taggie blanket in the parish or school office and it will go to the family of a newly baptized SEAS baby. Questions? Contact Becky Perez at SEAS school at 651-437-3098 or email bperez@seas-school.org and thank you for your contribution to this program!
