I have attached the updated schedule
for the Children's
Liturgy of the Word
that includes
February 21st (1st
Sunday of
Lent) through
May 23, 2010 (The
Solemnity of
Pentecost).
Just a couple of
notes . . .
- I've added the
page number of the
Worksheet to the
Liturgical Week
(center column) to
aid in finding the
specific Worksheet.
If you use the
scroll bar on the
far right of the
window, the page
number will be shown
as you scroll down.
I hope this helps!
- Once again this
year, the
Confirmation
Candidates will be
taking a turn with
the kids! They will
start February 28th
. . . and end on
April 11th. For
those 6 weeks
(including
Easter) each
of the
Confirmation
Teams will be
responsible for
bringing God's
message to the young
people of the
Parish. Our
"regular" schedule
starts again on
April 18th.

Helping Hands . . . Open Hearts
This year (2009-10) the entire Religious Education Program will have a common theme for our efforts to spread our faith outside the classroom. This theme will apply to PSR, Teen Faith, Youth Ministry and our Sacramental Preparation programs of First Reconciliation, First Holy Eucharist & Confirmation.
Follow us as we share our faith with all those around us . . . using our helping hands to open the hearts of those in need . . .
We have decided to dedicate our Service efforts to the support of our Parish and its many ministries. For an update of who's doing what . . . follow the "PSR" navigation button on the gold bar (above). At the PSR Home page select "Class Projects" on the Blue navigation bar (left side).
What's Goin' On
To check out what's happening in the REO follow the navigation button(s) on the top Gold Bar.
G.I.F.T.S.S.
The PSR "GIFTSS" (Giving Individualized Faith Training to Special Students) program provides a unique opportunity to share our faith with special needs children. The program has been in existence for 2 years, helping children and young adults to understand their faith a little better.
Our program is led by 2 qualifed Intervention Specialists who are capable of working with all types of special needs.
If you have a special needs child, or young adult, please consider giving our program a try. To see more information about the GIFTSS program, follow the PSR navigation link on the gold bar (above) and then select GIFTSS on the Blue navigation bar (left).
To contact the GIFTSS Team, send your email to giftssfromgod@yahoo.com
************************************************************************** Our site is dedicated to providing information about those activities that are part of the REO, including:
Parish School of Religion (PSR). PSR consists of the Faith Formation programs for children in grades PRE-K - 7. It includes the Sacramental preparation associated with First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion, both occurring in the 2nd grade. If you wish to access the sacramental information directly, there is a navigation bar on the left of this page. The PSR program gathers at two different days/times, 10:30am-11:45am on Sunday mornings (grades PRE-K - 3rd) and 6:45pm-8:15pm on Monday evenings (grades 4 - 7). Our sessions generally start in September and end at the the beginning of May, with a break at both Christmas and Easter time.
Parish Youth Ministry. The Youth Ministry deals with maturing & strengthening the Faith of our Parish Teens. This is done through a number of activities . . . - Teen Faith Program is for our 8th & 9th grade youth. The Program is a series of topics that address the issues that affect this group of young people on a daily basis (Social Justice, Media influence on our Faith, Sexuality, Learning the Mass, etc.). Each session is 5-6 weeks long. Sessions are on Sunday & Monday nights during the school year. - Youth Group meets on a monthly basis. The objective is to gather for faith-based fun and fellowship. This group spends the year planning for and attending their annual WorkCamp retreat. All teens 8th grade and up and their friends of all faiths are welcome and encouraged to attend. - Sacramental preparation for Confirmation. Starting in September of each year, this process is for those 10th graders of our Parish who are ready to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church. If you wish to access the sacramental information directly, there is a navigation bar on the left of this page.
- Adult Faith Formation. This program consists of a number of groups for adults who are interested in growing in their knowledge and practice of the faith. These ministries include . . . - The Men’s Spirituality Group of the parish gather to reflect on the Sunday Gospel, to pray, share and discuss topics related to our Catholic faith. - Bible Study offers study and reflection on the Bible. Topics are chosen with input from the participants. - Centering Prayer introduces parishioners to a quiet form of prayer and support. - 12 Step Spirituality Group integrates principles of the twelve steps of addiction or compulsion into a Christian way of life. - Spiritual Direction is available for individuals who are seeking a deeper relationship with God. - Side Altar Talks are led by the priests of the parish who teach about specific topics during Advent.

Question of the Week http://www.wholecommunitycatechesis.com/pages/questions.html
This new feature is a question which is related to the Readings of the season. It is designed to help us as we live out the good news we hear at mass. Some will use it for reflection & prayer. Others use it as a starter question for their journal. Finally, some use it for family or group discussion. However you decide to use it, I hope it helps you on our journey of faith!----
The most current question is at the
top. It goes back in time as you scroll down. As you will see,
there is one question for adults and one for children.
