Dear Faith Formation Families,
Greetings on this third week of Lent! We have a lot of announcements in the video above. The newest announcements are about the Altar server training and the new six week Summer Academic program offered at Seton. Both notices are included in the Newsletter below.
Confirmation Year 2 students, the retreat is tomorrow Saturday, March 11th at Our Lady Queen of Peace from 10:00am to 3:00pm. Bring your completed packets with you if you haven’t turned them in already. If you can’t make the retreat, either because of prior commitments, illness or bad weather, you will hear from me on Monday with a retreat make up plan. We need to see what the true final number is before we can finalize those plans.
We have the “St.Patrick’s day parable putt putt pizza party“ on Friday March 17th. If your family can come, please remember to RSVP via the email that went out, or reply to this flocknote to let me know So I can order food accordingly.
