Wednesday evening Religious Education Classes. We are very excited to get started in the classrooms with

the students for a wonderful year of learning about our Catholic Faith. Classes are from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. for grades Pre thru 11. We ask that students arrive no earlier than 6:15 p.m. and that they are picked up

promptly after classes. A letter concerning dismissal was given out at registration.

We are very fortunate to have the following people to willingly give their time to the program.

events such as liturgies and reconciliation services, Jr.High and High School social nights. The schedule can be found in the Religious Education handbook and will

be listed in the bulletin. Thank you to parents who are supporting our

program by bringing your children and allowing them to learn more about their Catholic Religion and to enrich

their own personal relationship with Jesus. Your support and actions play a very important part in the

lives of your children!

Family Faith Time

Go to a local farmers market as a family & pick out everything

you would need for a meal. Prep & eat together while talking

about blessings of harvest time & those who grow our food.

Or Consider dressing up as your favorite saint for Halloween

this year or another religious themed costume.

Faith Formation Ministry Spotlightt

RCIA: Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

St. Mary’s currently has nine adults

participating in the RCIA process. This

process is a time to inquire and discern if

this is what you are being called to do.

Participants grow in their faith journey at

this time at their own pace and decide if

and when joining is where the journey is

leading them. Candidates meet two or

three times monthly with Father John and

Anita Navarra leading the process along

with many other facilitators. All are

welcome to come and see! St. Mary’s

welcomes you to check it out!

Faith Formation Report

The Faith Formation Commission has continued to focus on our three key issues; the elderly, young adults, and marketing. The FFC will be hosted a “Call Out” meeting in September for the young adults of our parish ranging in age of 18 to 35ish years old. After our survey conducted a few months ago, we received a lot of feedback of the need/want of a program for young adults. Our hopes are to establish a program for young adults to focus on social, spirituality, and service.

We also have continued to highlight each group within our parish in the parish speaker to show who in our parish is involved within these groups and what each group provides for our parish.

The elderly key issue is also in the works and our hope is to provide the elderly in our parish with different activities and social events to get them more involved in our parish as well.

October is Respect Life Month!

celebrating throughout October.
