Dear Parents,
For the sake of providing you some stability in uncertain times, we are sending out weekly reminders of what your child would have been completing in class for Religious Education. As always, you will know what will and won't be possible for a given week. It will be your decision to complete the material on a schedule that works best for your family.
This week your child would review Chapter 21 with you, using their text books and the at-home packets emailed to you this morning. When you complete the chapter with your child, have them take the online review found at the link below and then email the results to re@standrew.org
(If for some reason you have not received your parent packet, please check your spam folder and then reply to this note.)

Helping Children and Teens Cope with Anxiety About COVID-19
The Vicariate II Office circulated this short article from Seattle Children's Hospital to all Directors and Coordinators of Religious Education. We wanted to share it with you, as our children are undoubtedly experiencing a disruption to their lives and schedules that can cause anxiety or complicate anxiety disorders.
Finally, I would like to share this prayer with you. We of course want you to be praying with and for your children - my prayer this week is for you. Some may be parenting with a spouse, others co-parenting over a distance, and some may be leading families on their own. Please join me in prayer and know you are not alone.
Prayer for Parents
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of parents. Through the intercession of Our Blessed Mother Mary and good Saint Joseph, grant them first of all a deep and affectionate love for one another. Make them gentle and selfless as they care for their children, courageously guiding them through the joys and sorrows, possibilities and projects of this life. May they be strong in love for their families, always ready to forgive and begin again. Remind them, O Lord, that they can do all things through You who strengthen them. Be with them always, and bring them and their families into eternal life with You. Amen.
Please reach out if there is anything we can do for you. God bless you.
Cheerfully in Christ,
Megan Daigle
