My Catholic Faith Delivered updates…

All children enrolled in My Catholic Faith Delivered should now be working towards completing through lesson/assessment #31 by the end of April.  

My Catholic Faith Delivered logins have all been released so students can sign into their classes and begin their coursework.  Instruction will primarily take place at home, encouraging parents to journey with their children as they grow in faith through the online learning platform My Catholic Faith Delivered. Catechists can communicate with their classes through lesson threads and will be hosting Zoom meetings during the months of November, December and February (one each month) to discuss the Saints, Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter respectively.

Please pray that our Faith Formation program prepares our children to encounter Jesus and share in the graces and peace that only such an encounter can bring!

“To hand onto your children.
the faith you received from your parents,
is your first duty
and your greatest privilege as parents.
The home should be the first school of religion,
as it must be the first school of prayer.”

– Bl. Louise-Therese de Montaignac de Chauvance, Apostle of the Sacred Heart

Reminder…    

Please remember to practice (at a minimum) the basic Catholic prayers of The Our Father, The Hail Mary and The Glory Be individually (or ideally as a family) each and every day (and night)!
