Dear Fami lies,
As we continue to move through COVID-19 regulations, Catechetical Ministry continues to modify the way we practice faith formation. In a nutshell, or 2021-2022 Catechetical year, Catechetical (Sunday School) Ministry will continue to focus on "Distance Learning" AND, in addition, we are adding IN-PERSON sessions. As parents you will have the option to choose for your kindergarten thru 6th grade child either ZOOM or IN-PERSON bi-monthly sessions. Both programs will include interactive online modules for grades 1st-5th. Each module includes a video recording of a Master Catechist leading the main lesson. All modules are primarily self guilded by the child/youth, and are overseen by both the parent & catechist through a web-portal.
All IN-PERSON sessions K-6th grade will be held on the 1st & 3rd Sundays of the month, from 10:50am-12noon. Please see calenders for exact dates.
All ZOOM sessions K-6th grade will be held on the 2nd & 4th Sundays of the month, from 10:50am-12noon (slightly less time for lower grades). Please see calenders for exact dates.
All Junior High (7th & 8th Grades) sessions will be IN-PERSON on Wednesdays from 7:20pm-8:30pm at the parish school.
Families for kindergarten to 6th grade will pick either "IN-PERSON" or "ZOOM" sessions for their child(ren). For both IN-PERSON and ZOOM sessions, on the Sundays the children do not meet with their Catechists, children will work at home with a parent/guardian on assigned modules or lessons.
Example # 1: If a parent selects "IN-PERSON" sessions for their 2nd grade child.
A. This 2nd grader will attend IN-PERSON sessions on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month located at our parish school.
B. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays this 2nd grader will work on his/her assigned web-modules at home. He/She DOES NOT attend ZOOM sessions.
Example # 2: If a parent selects "ZOOM" sessions for their 2nd grade child.
A. This 2nd grader will attend ZOOM sessions on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month.
B. On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month this 2nd grader will work on his/her assigned web-modules at home. He/She DOES NOT attend IN-PERSON sessions.___________________________________
