Summer Program Grades 1-5 need to attend the mandatory Lenten program from 9am to 12noon on Sat., 3/19 (originally scheduled 3/12 but changed due to Destination Imagination Competition). Second Grade 1st Eucharist Books are due for review so remember to bring your book. Summer Program Grades 6-8 need to attend the mandatory Lenten program at 7pm in the church on Monday, 3/7. Each Lenten season, we as Catholics are called to renew our commitment to Spiritual Practices of praying, fasting and almsgiving. We encourage you to attend mass with your child to increase your prayer life. Also we ask that your family, especially your child, experience almsgiving by putting spare change into the baby bottle that each child was given in the Rel. Ed. class. This money will go directly to Good Counsel Homes and Hope for Babies and Mothers. This non-profit is a Catholic pro-life ministry that operates homes for pregnant women and their babies in NJ and NY. Please return the baby bottles, filled or not on Sunday, 3/13 or Monday, 3/14 to your child’s CCD class.
