Our religious and education program (PSR) has 104 children enrolled.  Jesus tells his disciples, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them" (Mk 10:15).  We are pleased that so many of our families have made the formation of their child's faith and relationship with Christ an important priority for their life.  We hope our hybrid Sunday program will be a help to you this year.  
 
We are also pleased to have 14 High Schoolers preparing for Confirmation.  

Remeber there is a meeting for Parents on October 31 while children are in their Sessions.  Please be sure you have filled out and turned in all Permission forms found below with our Calendar and Covid Protocol.

• Masks are encouraged to be worn when attending Mass indoors whether vaccinated or not.
• Masks are a recommended, temporary measure during the current upsurge in the State of Ohio.
• Please continue other safety precautions: washing hands and keeping a safe distance.
• Catholics who are ill, caring for an ill family member, or simply concerned about their safety in large indoor gathers are NOT obliged to attend Mass.
• Get tested for Covid-19 if you are experiencing known symptoms or feel ill.
