****************************************************

Dear Families,                                             

 

Welcome to another year for teaching our young people about our faith and coming to know and love Jesus.   We know that you, our families, are a treasure, so we continue to work hard to provide your children with the best program.  We are indeed fortunate to have the service and leadership of Ms. Lindsey Webb, Coordinator of Religious Education (Grades 1-5), and the dedicated volunteers who come forward to teach and share the gift of faith with your children.

 

There are many voices clamoring for our attention.  Which voice gets the top priority in your family?   Is it the voice of God?  God does not shout or push to get our attention, but God continues to reach out, saying:  “This is my beloved Son, listen to Him.”  Let us come together, knowing, that in helping our children, God will surely help us to find his peace and love.  There is no better resource to help you as a family and to assist in the wholesome development of your children than to give them the living traditions of our Catholic faith. 

 

Sincerely Yours in Christ,

Rev. Msgr. Cornelius M. McRae, Pastor
