Due to the CoVID 19 pandemic, Faith Formation at St Angela Merici will begin in an online format this year. This was a decision between myself and Parish Council with support from the Safe and Secure Committee. While we are aware of the difficulties this causes for many of our families, our most important responsibility is the safety of our youth, volunteers and staff. The decision, though not an easy one, was based on the following factors:
- Fort Bend County is at Level One (RED) with respect to CoVID 19 virus infections.
- The church needs time to observe what will happen with respect to infection rates in Fort Bend over the next few weeks.
- The parish will need time for planning for in person education with respect to cleaning, social distancing and staffing.
- Fort Bend ISD feels it necessary to begin the school year online for four weeks due to the level of infection within the county
After the first four weeks, changing to a hybrid format (in person for those who want it/ online for others) will be re-evaluated. More information on the logistics of online classes will be coming soon.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
