Pictures from Mass - Right of Enrollment Sunday January 10, 2021
After careful consideration, research, Flocknote poll and many hours of discussions and prayers, we have made the decision to hold PREP classes online to begin the year.
We will be utilizing ZOOM and Goodle Classroom.
Because we have families with sevral children, we have decided to spread the classes out throughout the week.
The schedule is as follows:
Grade 1 - Sunday mornings 9:00 - 9:45
Grade 2 - Monday evenings 6:00 - 6:45
Grade 3 - Thursday evenings 6:30 - 7:15
Grade 4 - Wednesday evenings 6:15 - 7:00
Grade 5 - Wednesday evenings 7:00 - 8:00
Grade 6 - Tuesday evenings 6:00 - 7:00
Grade 7 - Thursday evenings 7:30 - 8:30
Grade 8 - Sunday mornings 9:00 - 10:00
Classes will last anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour (based on grade and subject being covered). Grade 2 and grade 8 will hold "in person" classes once a month in the SCHOOL HALL beginning in October.
If your child is unable to attend a class on this day/time, they can review the ZOOM class at a better time for your family DURING THAT SAME WEEK, complete the assignment via Google Classroom (by the due date) and thus keep up with their religious education requirements.
We know this is going to be different and perhaps challenging for both our families and our teachers.
Letters have been mailed to all current parents with further details.
We appreciate your prayers as we begin this unprecedented journey, but know this - our parish children's spiritual growth is just as important today as it was last year at this time. Even if we are not together physically - we will be together spiritally.

The children attend Mass once a month together; visit Adoration Chapel; perform service for others and learn about God and Jesus and their Catholic faith in a warm inviting, fun environment.
