Dear Parents,
This is a reminder that we have a meeting via Zoom call for parents and students of Religious Education - this Sunday, March 7, 2021 at 12:00 noon.
If you miss the call, please note that the meeting will be recorded. I always prefer in person participation for the calls because the most valuable part of the call is the small group discussions with other parents that will not be a part of the recording, but this option is available to you if you can not attend.
To join the call, please click on the button below.
I look forward to seeing you then.
After we meet this Sunday, I will ask that you review Chapter 20 with your child and have them complete the online review. The links are below:

When your child(ren) finishes the online review, the ultimate goal is to send the results of the review to re@standrew.org. I find it best if you put your own email into the online form first and then forward the email that you will receive from Loyola Press to us at re@standrew.org. That way, you’ll know that the results was sent to us.
Blessings,
David Heimann
Lenten Opportunities

Updates to RE Schedule
When the schedule for Religious Education came out last summer, we had no certain idea of how long the pandemic would last nor what the implications would be. We certainly hoped that by now we would have exclusively in-person classes for Religious Education. That is typically the way that we run the RE program from the end of March into May.
As it stands, we will continue to have our family-based model through the end of the year, with the option of small groups of students gathering for in person classes on select days.
The biggest impact this has for parents is that there will be one final Parent Meeting on Sunday, March 21, 2020 at noon. This meeting will be recorded for you to watch after the fact if necessary, although I always encourage in-person attendance as the interaction with other parents is a strong part of the meeting.
There will be in-person options for students to attend on March 14, April 11, and April 25. More information about these sessions will be announced on Sunday during the parent meeting.
