Parish Religious Education Program - PREP
October is the Month of the Holy Rosary. The students have papers to remind them that even praying one, single decade a day will total a full Rosary by the end of the week. If your child/children follow the directions on the page, bring the completed page to me, they will get a candy reward of pure sugar!
And yes, they can do more than one sheet a week.
Please note some end-of-the-year changes in the school calendar for April/May. This involves the First Holy Communion date as well. We had to move the celebration up to the end of April as there were several issues with the dates in May.
The last regular class for the year will me Sunday, April 19th. It is two weeks shorter than planned.
First Holy Communion has also been moved up to Sunday, April 26, 2026. The time of the Mass will still be at 11:30.
The Third Commandment: Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day.
Students and families should celebrate Mass on Saturday or Sunday every week.
HOMEWORK IS LISTED EVERY MONDAY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR ON YOUR CLASS PAGE!
