BLESSED- Communion/Reconciliation Program Materials
Hello Parents of Communion Candidates,
First and foremost, I hope this email finds you and your family in good health. It has been a long while since students have been able to study their faith with their peers.
Ms. DeAna, Fr. Tom and I have been focusing our efforts in reopening Holy Rosary Church for masses and now that we have successfully been welcoming parishioners back for the past three months, we are concentrating our time on our Religious Education Program.
I am happy to state that our 8th graders will be Confirmed in September. They had been well prepared and were just 10 days away from their Confirmation Day when all of the churches were asked to suspend masses.
Our Communion students still have a few lessons to get through before they will be ready to receive the Sacraments of Confession and First Communion. At this time unfortunately we are unable to hold classes in person.
Therefore, I am proposing that we hold classes virtually via Zoom. Classes would meet 4 times for 45 minutes. Students will be expected to attend all meetings. When these classes conclude, we will be able to schedule a Communion Mass.
My hope is to have the Communion Mass no later than mid October. I am asking each family to fill out this survey to help us determine what days/ times are best to hold online classes. I know that school will be starting up soon for most students virtually and want to take that into consideration.
Please complete the survey by Friday, September 11, 2020. An email with final class details will be sent out on Saturday, September 12, 2020 mapping out the classes and date of the Communion Mass.
One last reminder, your child will need a copy of their baptismal certificate if they were baptized at a parish other than Holy Rosary. Please contact their parish office as soon as possible to secure a copy if you are unable to locate your copy.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Ms. DeAna Kozak.
All the best,
Clair Zaffaroni
Director of Religious Education
