Dear Families,
As we end this school year in Religious Education, we want to plan ahead for next year and welcome new families in our parish. Families can register their children for classes at either location.
Fees: The fees remain the same as last year and are listed below.
Schedule changes: In Hastings, classes will go until 11:30 am to comply with the regulations of the Catechetical Office in the Archdiocese.
In Ardsley, the 5th Grade will meet in the evening, 7:00-8:30 pm, with Grades 6-8, rather than in the afternoon, with Grades 1-4.
In Ardsley, the 5th Grade will meet in the evening, 7:00-8:30 pm, with Grades 6-8, rather than in the afternoon, with Grades 1-4.
Deadline for registration: July 31, 2018 to avoid the $50 late fee.
Reminders:
- Mass attendance: Sunday worship is required for all children, especially as they prepare to receive the Sacraments. Mass times are: Saturday 5:00 p.m. Vigil Mass at both churches; Sunday at 8:00 & 9:00 a.m. and 12 noon at St. Matthew; and 8:30 & 10:30 a.m. on OLPH.
- Parent Volunteers: Parents are expected to give some time to help with the Religious Education Program. We need parents to serve as teachers, assistants, hall monitors, etc. Please indicate on the registration form the capacity in which you would be willing to volunteer.
- OLPH Bus: Bus transportation will be available from Concord Rd. Elementary on Wednesday afternoons for Grades 1-4. We need parents to volunteer as bus monitors from the school to Religious Education. Each family is asked to take a turn. We are required to use a bus company that carries enough insurance to comply with the rules set by the Archdiocese of New York.
