Instruction for the children of the Parish.
We see this program as an extension of the parents' responsibility to proclaim the message of our salvation for they are the primary teachers of their children.
Instruction for non-Catholics wishing to become Catholic and those Baptized with little or no formal instructions in the Catholic faith.
Scripture study for interested adults .
Meet weekly in Ceader Hall to discuss the Scriptures. No background necessary, just a desire to learn more about the Books of the Bible.
PREP - Gina Wydner provided the following updates:
a. Two monthly sessions remain (3/3/24 and 4/7/24).
b. First reconciliation and penance will take place this coming Saturday at 11:00 AM – one
child has already done this last Saturday during the usually scheduled Confession time
with eleven children expected this coming Saturday including seven in the 2nd and 3 rd
grade PREP class, two from the Regina Academy and two older PREP students who are
catching up.
c. Students are again required to attend at least one Stations of the Cross during Lent.
We’re offering volunteer hours for the Soup Supper to our Confirmation PREP class and
Catholic High School Students from our Parish.
d. First Holy Communion is a little earlier this year, we’ve moved it to April from our usual
early May. This year’s date is set for Sunday, 4/21/24 during the 9:30 AM Mass with a
minimum of 10 and maximum of 12 children receiving the Sacrament.
This is a reminder that our next Scripture Study is on the Women of the New Testament. I look forward to it, because it will be a change of pace for us; it reminds us of how the early followers of Our Lord respond to His teaching and it offers us an insight into how the women of the ancient Church understood the Gospel.
Since Easter comes early this year [March 31st], this shorter study [8 weeks] came in handy. Unless we need to cancel a session or two because of weather or health reasons, this study will conclude March 12TH.
There are some regulars who won't be able to join us, since they are Snow Birds and will be spending time in the South. However, I know I will enjoy the return of one of our original members, Fern Culichia who will join us for the second session of the study.
