Hello & Welcome Back!
I hope that your summer was full of adventures, excitement, rest and relaxation!
I am looking forward to spending the next few months with the families of our beautifully diverse parish. This year we will focus on many facets of our Catholic faith. Our 7th & 8th graders will have a special study in 2020 on "25 Under 25", learning about young saints. Our 9th graders will begin their first year preparation for Confirmation with the Decision Point Program by Dynamic Catholic. Our 10th graders will be learning about the importance of the dignity of the human person with "You" by Ascension Press.
I'd also like to take the time to advise that we will be implementing a new prayer program between the children in Faith Formation and the young people in Youth Ministry. PrayPal, much like it's name sake, will provide an opportunity for our young people to pour into one another through prayer and encouragement. We will pair up students in grade school faith formation with teens in the youth ministry program.
Additionally there will be many opportunities to serve our parish and community throughout the Faith Formation year. Enclosed in this newsletter you will find just a few upcoming events for the Fall.
I would like to invite you to utilize an app that has proven to be successful and efficient in communication: Slack. Along with emails I would like to implement this as a direct form of communication for reminders and for updates along the way. In the link to follow you can get information about how this app works Slack Communication App
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and know I hold an "all are welcome" & "open door" policy.
Blessings,
