(2nd year of sacramental preparation)
August 14, 2022
Parents – an adult must drop off and pick up the students – announcements are made at the end of class.
Class will begin at 9:15, ending prayer and dismissal will be at 10:45. This will leave time to make it to 11:00 mass.
Parents and Sponsors are welcome to stay for class.
Please take your children to Reconciliation/confession. They received this sacrament last year and are good to go. Please do not let them keep sins on their souls.
Please sit in the front of church for mass. We will be discussing what happens during mass and the more the kids see, the more they will understand.
Some of the extra things we will be doing this year:
Taking a tour of the church-the Altar/Tabernacle/Sacristy.
Both Fathers will be coming to talk again.
Someone will be coming to talk about being an alter server, along with other speakers.
