OPENING SESSION
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH
9:15 AM - 10:45 AM

Session #1 of our Traditional Religious Education Program began on Sunday, Sept. 10th at 9:15am with a  welcoming assembly.  We kindly ask that you please pray over the next few weeks for the students, catechists and volunteers involved in our program:   
Loving God, we pray for all children as they prepare for a new season in their lives. As they start school for the first time – give them joy in new experiences. As they move to new classes – give them confidence in growing friendships. As they move to new schools – give them strength in their growing independence. As they begin these new sessions, give them hearts open to receive your grace. And for all the teachers, assistants, and volunteers, we ask for your blessing, your joy, your wisdom, and your patience as they bring the Gospel to the children of our parish. We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
