Hello all!  I hope everyone is doing well, being safe and staying healthy.  Since this is the first part of summer and  we all are wrapping up our 2019-2020 school year, I wanted to wrap up  the CCE year as well. This year we have had a lot of changes to our program.  I want to thank everyone for adapting to these changes and seeing it through with us as we adjust to our new guidelines.  We have had to make more adjustments and changes as we ended this year's CCE classes.  Thank you again for hanging in there with us on the Catechism lesson for the week.  I hope many of you were able to participate, including the activities and lessons we sent out during Holy week.

As most you know we did not be have a First Holy Communion Group Mass this year. The students who are wanting to receive their First Holy Communion will be doing so individually during regular Mass times.  Once they are ready you might see your fellow classmates receiving their First Holy Communion.  Please be in prayer for these students and their parents, as they continue to prepare for this sacrament.  

Confirmation this year has been postponed as well.  We are waiting to hear from the Bishop as to when this will be rescheduled.  I am hoping it will be soon.  Thank you to the Confirmation candidates for your saint names, sponsor forms and  letters to Father Timothy.  I love to see everyone participating and getting to know about all the different saint each one picks. Continue to be in prayer for this group to receive their sacrament when it is scheduled again.

Now for our Graduates.   On Sunday May 23 @ the 10:00 am Mass,  Mass intentions and a blessing were said for the graduates. We have graduation gifts for each of you.  If you were not able to attend, your gift will be mailed to you.  So look for that in the next week.  We will be praying for your continued conversion and growing in your faith as you head off to college.

We are currently planning and looking into the future for next year with exciting plans for our CCE programs for each grade, and possibly something special for those in High School and already Confirmed! Online registration for next year will be open soon.  I will send out a text when everything is ready.

 I know our last CCE class was weeks ago and I know it didn't end as we had expected or hoped.  I  hate we were not able to be together to have our end of year parties and to say goodbye.  So I want to say goodbye and tell each of you how much we miss you.  I hope you have a good summer and I look forward to seeing you next Fall.
