Stations of the Cross - S. Dedrick’s 7th graders and P. Lasley’s 4th graders are going to pray the Stations of the Cross FOR THE PARISH on Friday, March 12, 2010 at 7:00pm in the church. Please tell your kids to tell their families. Attending this service will be a very prayful experience. Mark your calendars!
Mr. Morgan’s 7th graders are planning a “Game Nite” at Berea Lake Towers for Monday, April 12th. The students will be taking snacks & games to “The Towers” to spend a few hours with the aged & elderly of our community. This is a great experience . . . and a great time!
- 2nd Grade Updates . . . I only have five (5) “Cutout Kids” from your classes. Please remind your students each week to turn in their self portrait. Should you receive any Cutouts, sacramental fee payment ($20) or Mass Requests, please make sure the child’s name is on the check or envelope and see that the money gets to me before you leave for the day.
- More 2nd grade news . . . Mrs Follen is in “sunny” California this weekend . . . all the 2nd graders will be in Mrs. Heitz’s room.
- Sacramental Sidekicks . . . Don’t forget about them . . . their pace is starting to pick up. They now have 2 sessions per month from now until April. Their Enrollment Ceremony is February 6th (refer below), the Confirmation Retreat is March 13th. Encouragement (pictures, notes, cards & letters) is a good thing to work on.
- Letters for Confirmation . . . Please continue to work on your letters . . . get them to me by March 8th . . . and I’ll pass them on to the Candidates!
- Class Masses . . . the schedule is kinda in a state of confusion right now. Stay tuned for when & where masses will happen.

- PSR Sunday . . . our next PSR Sunday is scheduled for March 21st. The theme is Holy Week. Remember this is the session when the parents are invited to attend your class. It’s not too early to begin planning for this “event”. Let me know if there is anything “special” you may want to do.
- Upcoming Parish Events . . .
The Confirmation Retreat is Saturday, March 13th. Make sure your letters are done before then!
Every Wednesday in Lent is a day of prayer and fellowship. Mass is held at 7:00pm followed by a Bread & Soup Supper. This might be a great opportunity to share time with other members of the parish. If any class is interested in attending this celebration let me know.
Every Friday in Lent the Stations of the Cross are held in the church at 7:00pm. This might be a great opportunity to connect/relate with the journey taken by Jesus Christ and the ultimate sacrifice he made for our salvation. If any class is interested in attending this pray service let me know.

*************************************************************** PSR "News" - The PSR meeting times are changing! We are extending the the PSR time by 15 minutes! Sunday sessions will be 10:30 - 11:45am & Monday sessions will be 6:45 - 8:15pm. With this change we will better coincide with our neighboring parishes and provide our Catechists more time to share God's word with your children! - Monday Night Entrance! Monday night PSR'ers & Teen Faith'ers will no longer enter through the Gym and wait for class. Instead all students will enter through Door "P" (southeast entrance off parking lot) and go directly to their classroom. They will exit from the same door. - Helping Hands . . . Open Hearts! The religious education program will have a common theme for the entire year. It is our hope that this theme will bring our entire program closer together. PSR, Teen Faith, Youth Group & Sacramental Preparation will join together to use our "Helping Hands" to provide support and "Open our Hearts" to share our faith with the parish of St. Mary. This is new . . . and exciting! We are encouraging REO families to become Evangelists in our parish community!
