Dear Parents.

This is a reminder that more than 3 absences will require your student to "Make Up" lessons with Mrs. Homa after school on a weekday Monday - Thursday.    Please contact Mrs. Homa to schedule a session if needed.

 

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!

Confirmation will be on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at 4pm.  This will make Confirmation Preparation classes more intense then this year's September to April schedule.  Please expect fewer breaks in the Monday evening classes that must begin September 9th, 2025! The curriculum is 13 weeks long and we only have 14 possible Mondays, excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas break.  Please check your extra-curricular activities for school year 2025 - 2026!  The bonus is that you will be concluding your class work in the month of February for the remainder of the school year.

 

Only 3 absences are permitted for the year.

More than 3 will automatically result in after school sessions with Mrs. Homa!!!

Make-up classes can be arranged with Mrs. Homa if needed.
