2013 Confirmation Guidelines

Children's Liturgy of the Word

The Parish staff has decided that our Children's Liturgy of the Word Program needs to be "beefed up". We need more volunteers to share with the smallest of our parish . . . and those volunteers need to be better trained.

Until both these needs can be accomplished, we will be suspending the CLOW Program. If you are interested in helping out . . . contact the Rectory or the REO.

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

Question of the Weekl

This 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.

The Sisters of Notre Dame Prayer Line has had more than 10,000 prayer requests since it started in 2007. The Sisters are available during the day but after hours the requests are recorded on voice mail. Ask the Sisters to pray for your needs by calling 440-279-1163.
