Volume 3, Number 2 October 29, 2021
Greetings from the ORE!
- Circle of Grace – new safe environment education program. During October we connected with the parishes who were unable to attend the early fall meetings. We still have to meet with three parishes and a few schools. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call us. Perhaps we can schedule a Zoom meeting. We will be editing the final report form that is included in the binder. The final report is due: May 1, 2022.
- We hope that the Inventories will help you to focus on those areas that the children and young people need help with. The final report on the Inventories will be due at the end of May.
- All spring Confirmations have been scheduled. If you have any questions, please call Darleen Farland.
- The Adult Confirmation ceremony has been scheduled for February 20, 2022. See our web page for more information and registration directions.
Religious Education Week is November 14th through November 20th. More information in our next Update+
