Dear Parents and children,

 

        Welcome to the new school year!  Religious education isn’t exactly “school”, but we try to follow the school year and take holidays off when families may be away.  Therefore, there are no classes next week because of the Columbus Day holiday.  In return, I hope that you will place a priority on religious education in your child’s life and make sure that your child attends as many classes as possible.

        I plan to call parents if your child is not in attendance.   If your child has been sick, absence is understandable and I would appreciate it if you would call 273-0303 to let me know.  If it is just a sports practice, perhaps you should consider which is more important.

        Another change this year is keeping all the classes on the first floor and only using the Plain Street doors (near the flagpole).  If this is a problem for anyone with a disability, let me know.  I want to accommodate your needs in addition to giving your family a sense of the importance of God in our lives.

        God is our focus.  We may give parents opportunities to learn about God or to learn about spirituality.  You will be getting a monthly newsletter to keep you informed.

        If you have any questions, please call me at my Parish Center office 273-6121, at home 277-3558 or leave a message at the Religious Education phone number 273-0303.  My e-mail address is makmin@immconch.org.

        We are meant to work together to build our Parish community and enhance our prayer life.  Thank you.

 

Sincerely in Christ,

Mary Ann Kozak
