We will not have class next week because of Mother’s Day. Our last class will be on May 16 – regular class and going to Mass together after class.
May 9, 2021 Catechist Bulletin Enjoy your morning off!
We pray for all Mother’s. I am lighting a candle in front of our Lady to interecede for you. May your day be extra special.
What role does Mary play in your life? I am sure we each have our favorite prayers, images, appearances, and events in your life that give us indight and courage. Toe of my favorites are the Visitation – She heard of Elizabeth’s need and went with haste to be with her. May we always “hasten” to respond to those in need. The other the Flight into Egypt - May we have the courage and take the risks to follow God’s plan for us.
From today’s Gospel - “I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your might be complete. This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.”
Congratulations to our First Communicants. Makayla Boothe, James Gilbert, Jackson Parman, Mason Prewitt, and Sarah Walker We continue to pray for them, their parents and Jaimee, their catechist. They were very reverent and beautiful.
We will have another zoom meeting to plan our May 16 class. Some questions - Will we want our May devotions to be part of the celebration? Do you want something special to give students at the end of the year? If it is nice, maybe we could have an outdoor donuts & drinks after Mass. Encourage community buildling. I am encouraging all to come to Mass and sit as families. How many could meet on Monday. May 10 at 7:30. We would like to have an inperson meeting of catechists on May 23, the Sunday after classes end – 9:00 – 10:30 in the Education building.
VBS - What about a VBS the week of June 7? How will that inerfere with sports? I think we can do an inperson gathering this year.
WE are plalnning a 10:00 – 12:00 time. We will also plan some “catch up days” to cover some material we did not cover this year.
Catechist certification is something we need to talk about. If you have not signed up online under catechist certification, please do so. Notice the last page in Crossroade, our Diocesan Newpaper. You can sign-up for a 6 wk class on line through Notre Dame McGrath Ceneter. Cost - $69. If someone would like to take a course, I think the parish would pay for it as part of our catechist certification program. It would apply to credit toward certification.
