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, for our 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 11:00am-11:45 (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 select 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.
