Dear Religious Education Families,
We are off to a fantastic start in our return to Religious Education.
In preparation for this year, our catechists attended orientation where we reflected on this year's theme, the Kerygma.
What is Kerygma?
"Kerygma is a Greek word that means proclamation. We, as Catholic Christians, are called to share the gospel message as we evangelize: God loves you, has a plan for your life, but because of sin we have been separated from him, and the only one who can save us is Jesus Christ. Through our repentance and turning toward him we come back to life with him." Ascension Press
This year, we will be encouraging our students to grow in their understanding of God's vast love for them. We will challenge them to consider what this means and how they are being called to respond in faith throughout their lives.
Our second grade students are beginning their preparation for First Reconciliation. They are learning about the grace found in this sacrament and the power of God's healing love.
Seventh grade students are beginning their Confirmation Preparation. On October 15th, students will participate in a Service Workshop where they will learn about Evangelical Charity and experience what it means to live out the gospel message by assembling Blessing Bags for those in need.
We look forward to the many blessings this year promises to bring!
The Religious Education Team,
Megan, Donna, Christi, and Amy
