Dear Parent,
Though we have sent out all religious education forms to our families early last week I am sending this notice out electronically. Note the actual registration form is attached as a pdf file. This is for the 2022-2023 academic year.
The one exception is for the Confirmation program. The Confirmation program has a separate registration process and candidates (rising juniors or seniors) should contact Monsignor Sullivan directly by calling him at 508-450-2556 or emailing him at tsullivan5@mac.com to schedule an interview in this month of June. Those interviews have nearly been completed now.
All class dates for Grades 1-10 appear below and should be kept handy.
It is my hope that your sons and daughters will participate in all religious education classes in the year ahead. The impact of COVID the past two years has seriously diminished the participation of our families and reduced attendance to record lows. The religious education of our sons and daughters is vital and should be a priority.
Please help us by completing the form and returning it to the parishalong with your registration check ($40 per youth) as soon as you can. We can prepare well for the coming year only when registrations are returned to us in a timely way.
Those in Grades 1 through 6 will meet on Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00 am.Those in Grades 7 through 10 will meet on Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Please note the dates.
It is important that all our families make attendance at Sunday Mass (or Saturday at 4:00 pm) as well as these Sunday classes among their highest priorities.
Sincerely yours,
Msgr. Tom Sullivan
Pastor
