Dear Parents and Families,

As we close this year of religious education, we want to thank you for entrusting us with your children. We are honored to be a part of your child's faith formation.

This year, our students have had the opportunity to tour our church with

Fr. Jim Bilot, walk a living rosary with Deacon Bill Jamieson, learn about vocations with Fr. Colin Fricke, and participate in a Catholic Faith Q & A with our seminarian, Charlie Giroux. This month, seventy five second grade students will receive their First Holy Communion. Ninety five young people will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and be welcomed into full communion with the Catholic Church.

All of this would not have been possible without the commitment of the 34 catechists and volunteers who show up weekly and engage, instruct, and challenge our young people to grow in their faith.

We pray you have a safe, fun, and blessed summer! We look forward to seeing you again in the fall.

Tricia, Megan, Donna, Christi, and Amy
