Religious Education classes will begin Sunday, September 12. This year we are shifting back from Family Catechesis to the “in the classroom” model of catechesis. Religious Education classes will be held in St. Paul Catholic School on Sundays from 11:15 AM to 12:15 PM. You may register your child/children by picking up a registration form in the Narthex or Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the school/parish office. Please return SRE forms and payment by placing in the collection basket or bringing to the parish/school office.
As of right now, we do not plan to offer online classes this year. This past year showed us that religious education is most effective when it happens within the context of a community, whether that is in a class or within the family. As important as attending Sunday Religious Education classes are, it is even more important that the children are attending Mass on Sunday.
In regards to the Coronavirus, we will follow the state’s recommendations for schools. Currently, wearing masks is optional. Teachers will do their best to socially distance the children. Hand sanitizer will be provided at the west entrance (Door B) and should be used by all upon entering the school building. If/when guidance about the Coronavirus changes you will be notified.
Volunteers are still needed to teach religious education to the children. If you feel called to teach our youngest parishioners to know and love Jesus, please call the parish office at 765-664-6345 or email [email protected]
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nora Reynolds
Director of Religious Education
