The goal of our Faith Formation
Program is to assist the youth of our
parish to learn, live, and share their
Catholic Faith as disciples of Jesus.
To achieve our goal we need the
support of all members of our parish
family. We have always been blessed
with the prayers and resources that the parishioners so
generously share with us.
We need the young people to actively participate in their
scheduled classes and attend Mass weekly. We need their
parents to encourage that participation and model that Mass
attendance.
This year’s program would be enriched by a few more adult
parishioners to join us on the catechetical team. The classes
meet on Sunday mornings from 9-10:15 am. The more adults
we have, the smaller the groups can be! Please know that we
are aware that people sometimes shy away because they do
not feel they can commit to every Sunday. The classes usually
meet three times a month from September to April. We can
always find a substitute for your “weekend away” or for “a
ski trip up North.” The prerequisite is your willingness to
share your faith with our youth. An advanced degree in
education is not needed!
Mrs. Bethany Bessette, Faith Formation, Gr. 1-6,
Mr. Charles Moreira, Faith Formation, Gr. 7-10, [email protected]
We are currently looking for teachers to join us for our
2019-2020 school year.
Please contact Bethany Bessette if you
are interested in sharing your gifts,
talents and faith with our students. We
have a few grades open and if the time
commitment is difficult, there is a team-
teaching option as well.
Grateful for God’s Providence Capital Campaign
All parishes in the Diocese of Providence are joining together for the Grateful for God’s Providence Campaign. As we approach the 150th anniversary of our Diocese, this historic campaign will ensure that we are able to continue our Mission for years to come. More information will follow in the next few weeks so that we here at St. Margaret Church can learn more about the campaign and the needs we will address together.
