St Michael CCD program continues to run smoothly. The students have done an exceptional job with their attention and prayerfulness during Mass. Fr Bernardo has joined Fr Borowiak and Fr Rutten in presenting the Masses and confessions this year. Many weeks two priests are able to hear confessions which makes things go so much more quickly. The students in general are able to attend confession approximatly once every month. We had a fire drill at the church on the first Wednesday of October and all of the students in the basement were evacuated outside in an orderly fashion in less than one minute. "Good job" everyone.
Margaret Tomek and Agnes Mendenhal continue to work with the music. I am so impressed with the enthusiasm the students have. The third Wednesday of each month one of the classes presents the music at the CCD Mass. October 21 will be the 7th grade presentation. Those music Masses will resume in January as Nov /Dec are reserved for the Christmas practice and presentation. Parents should note that the music practiced at CCD is the music presented at the Youth Masses on the weekend.
Prayer booklets were sent home with the children and parents are encouraged to practice the prayers appropriate for their ages.
Please take time at home to pray with your child and answer questions they may have. If you feel uncomfortable doing that consider signing up for an RCIA refresher course or attend an adult religious education class. May God be with you all.
