REPORTS
To date, we have received:
- 74 “National Profile” Religious Education Reports
- 59 Inventory Reports
- 66 Circle of Grace Safe Environment Reports
We do know how overwhelming these past 3 years have been. We all hoped that 2021-2022 would be a return to regular gathered sessions. It did not turn out that way. It was even more difficult because, rather than statewide, different towns found themselves with different protocols at different times. Some of you had scheduled Circle of Grace and/or Inventory sessions only to have them cancelled because of COVID.
Last July, we surveyed all of you about catechist training, retreats, etc. At the ORE, we found ourselves in the same position that you were in. Hopefully, we can now regroup/rebuild. We also want to welcome and support a number of new catechetical leaders. Please do fill out the survey so that we can get a calendar to you soon.
The Diocese is in the process of preparing the annual Safe Environment audit report. Even if you were not able to complete Circle of Grace, let us know what you were able to do and what you had planned but were forced to cancel. The report forms are still on the website.
Bishop McManus is very grateful for all your efforts in preparing children and youth for sacraments. Once again this year, the Holy Spirit was with us and everyone prepared for Confirmation was confirmed!
