As we quickly come to the end of August, the excitement builds as we all gear up for the fall and winter months, including the beginning of school year, Faith Formation, RCIA, and many sporting activities for our young people. One of
the most rewarding things anyone can do as a lay person in the Catholic Faith is to be a Catechist or a Mentor.
We are all very grateful to Sr. Annie Bremmer, Kathy Gabriel and the whole Faith Formation team for all of the work they do year in and year out to provide opportunities for parents as well as the children to learn about Jesus Christ and the truth of his Gospel!
Please consider if God is calling you to be a Catechist, mentor or aide. Kathy needs help in the gym with arrival and dismissal of all grades K-Grade 5, and also needs aides for 4th & 5th Grades. It is always challenging to know how many catechists and mentors are needed until all registrations are in for each grade. To help with this process, please have all students registered by August 25, 2023. Please see
Pg 12 of this bulletin or see the link below to register your child(ren).
