Registration for Religious Education
Parent meeting to discuss A Family of Faith and answer any questions is tonight at St. James of the Valley, at 6:30pm in the Media Room.
Registration for Sacramental Preparation will close on Sunday, August 28.
Families are required to participate in A Family of Faith to receive Sacraments. This includes students in 1st, 2nd grade and 7th, 8th Grade.
Registration for A Family of Faith will remain open and can be joined at anytime during the Religious Education year. This includes students in 3rd through 6th grade.
Registration for A Family of Faith is included in the standard Religious Education registration form.
What is A Family of Faith? It is a four-year program that takes families through the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
A Family of Faith will equip parents with the knowledge and the practices to confidently catechize their children at home and instill a Catholic Identity within their family. Monthly, parents will meet for a catechist lead lesson where they will receive the practices, knowledge, and confidence to share and live the Catholic identity with their families at home using the resources provided by program for that month. The goal is to develop your home into a “domestic church” where the Catholic Identity is rooted in your family, not just through information, but through an authentic example of a love for God.
A Family of Faith consists of two meetings a month. The first meeting will be the Adult Meeting. This Adult Meeting will take place on the 1st Sunday of each month. Children will attend their grade level catechesis lessons during the Adult Meeting where grades 3 through 6 will receive an introduction to the lesson of the month. Students enrolled in Sacramental Preparation receive their proper curriculum to prepare them to receive the Sacraments. For the remainder of that month, parents will lead their children at home through activities and practices to help strengthen their knowledge of the Catholic Faith and their Catholic Identities. The second, Community Meeting, will help to fortify their Catholic Identity while offering a fun community building event.

Calling All Eucharistic Ministers
Calling All Eucharistic Ministers for the home-bound, hospitalized, and those in hospice care. The expectation is to recommission ourselves with the reverence of the Eucharist as we renew the policies and procedures associated with bringing the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus to our fellow parishioners. This is a new requirement for our family of parishes. We will gather on Thursday, September 8, at 7:00 pm at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish Activity Center. For those who cannot make it, we will schedule another opportunity for you to renew your call to serve, especially those at St. Matthias in this ministry, but please inform us of who you are as we begin to formulate a comprehensive plan to best serve our parishioners.
