NEW THIS YEAR: FAMILY MASS LEARNING SUNDAYS! The purpose of Family Mass Learning Sundays is to provide both students and parents in the Religious Education program an opportunity to intentionally learn about the Mass.
The six-part series will focus on a specific part of the Mass each month to help families better know and understand the Mass to enhance their worship, their faith journey, and their willingness to always be at Mass! Religious Education families will be instructed to attend the Saturday 5pm, Sunday 9am, 11am, 1pm, or 5pm Sunday Mass on the specific weekend. Beginning at five minutes past the end of Mass, a 15-20 minute catechesis focusing on the Mass Topic of the Day will be given by a catechist.
The topic for January is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Attendance will be tracked-- be sure to check in with Religious Education volunteers before Mass!
These sessions will be in addition to regularly scheduled Religious Education classes.
Family Mass Learning dates for this Year: January 11, February 8, March 8, April 19 (special session for First Communion students and Families).
