Resource Guide for Parents

Dear Parents and Religious Education Students,

Due to the directives, guidelines, and restrictions that are still in place for the safety of our staff, catechists, and students, it has been decided that this year’s Religious Education program will be conducted on a remote basis. We understand that this is a busy, challenging time and are happy to offer an enriching program that is easy to navigate. Fr. Mike and I hope that this time with your child will help your family grow closer to God and to one another.

The program consists of weekly lessons which focus on the Gospel Reading from Sunday’s Mass. The lessons may be completed at a time that is convenient for you - there are no virtual meetings or specific times to “log in”. A printed handbook and weekly pamphlets will be provided, and parents will have access to brief lesson guides.

To obtain credit for each weekly lesson, your child must submit an online assessment consisting of five questions. The assessment will be directed to a St. Gregory the Great catechist who will verify that your child has completed the work and understands the material.

I will pray for you and your family and I ask for your prayers and patience while we navigate this new remote program.

This is a very difficult time for all of us, and everyone's life has changed in some way. Our faith in God and our responsibility to pass it to our children is even more important today, than ever. Your cooperation and support continue to be a blessing.

Sincerely,
Sr. Carolyn Houck, MPF
