Religious Ed ended with Virtual Reality Tour of the Holy land, ice cream and plenty of running on the play ground! Thanks to all catechists, volunteers and staff for their service this year. Thanks to the students and their families. Especially thank you to Phyllis Kalkowski and Valarie Mancuso for their decades of service! Vacation Bible School with the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist was a success! With skits, prayer, work, Confession, snack and play all in the mix, it all turned out quite well. Thank you to all the sisters (Sister Josefa, Sister Mary Vianney & Sister Joseph Lucia), volunteers and staff for their service, especially the Flach family who helped set it all up!
Thanks to our Confirmation team, Ellen Nightingale, Brendan Barnes and Bobby Kinkela who helped chaperone and coordinate the Presence Lite retreat at St Marys on February 19th! We lead over 120 youth through a retreat that included a rosary, Adoration, speaker talks, Exposition by Bishop Bradley and a live praise band. Thanks to the Confirmandi for coming out and spreading time with the Lord. (CLICK FOR PICTURES)
Father Dave celebrated First Reconciliation during February! We had 10 children make their First Reconciliation! Thanks to the catechists and parents for working through the steps to the Confession and the all important examination of conscience. Afterwords, they were given gifts including metals which Father Dave was able to bless. (CLICK FOR PICTURES)
