Dear Parents,
You and your families have had to adapt in many ways due to the pandemic. And from my perspective it has been edifying. The religious formation of your children will no less have to be adapted in this time of restrictions and limitations. An exploratory committee of a spectrum of parishioners has been working long and hard at putting together a COVID-19 year program that will keep your children connected to the beauty of the Lord, our Faith, and St. Mary’s Parish. It is our hope that it will also bring your family closer together in faith.
Will this be a perfect program? No program is. However, it will be a refreshed approach that offers age-appropriate content for each of the various levels; a variety of activity options for different learning styles; and both online and print materials for you to choose between at any given moment, as we have heard that many of you need this choice. Regular classroom gatherings will not be possible, but that will not keep us from providing you solid Catholic teaching in a manageable way.
I will be overseeing the program for this year. Administering it will be Laura Danner, whom some of you may know. Laura has been working tirelessly with the Committee throughout the summer. Josephine Bove will continue doing her good work in the office.
We expect registration to open by the end of next week, to be followed by the launch in mid-October and we are looking forward to re-connecting!
Many Blessings,
Monsignor Kevin Royal
