GRADE 2 Parent Info

Here is a letter with IMPORTANT DATES from our Parish Religious Education Office!

Hello Parents,

A reminder of the upcoming Parent meeting for families that have children preparing for First Holy Communion.  This meeting will be hosted by Sister Mary Bethany, Mrs. Maria Fonseca, Father Anthony and myself.  We will be gathering on Wednesday, February 22 at 6:30 pm in the Parish Centre Auditorium.  We are looking forward to seeing you all there.  

There is no child-minding available this evening, PREP students will be taking part in their regular classes.

Our First Communion celebrations will be taking place on;
·        Sunday, April 30th for CCS students
·        Sunday, May 7th for PREP Students

Both Masses will be at 2 pm.  If there is a conflict, students are welcome to participate in either, but we do need to know that well in advance please.

Also, a reminder of the Retreat on Saturday, April 22nd.  We will all gather for Mass (students & parents) at 9 am.  After Mass, parents will gather in the Parish Centre while the children will be gathered into groups to participate in their activities in the school and church.  At 11:30, we will all gather in the Parish Centre to make banners.  We should be done by noon.

One more note, as a generous gift of time, long standing parish tradition have the 1st Communion parent host the Confirmation reception, as the Confirmation families will be hosting your receptions.  You will be asked to sign up for a shift on Friday, June 2 to assist in preparing decorations, setting up, serving and clean up on this evening.  If you have children celebrating both sacraments, you are not required to participate, you will be busy enough J

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

With my prayers,
Heather Squires
