October 2021
This month students will be learning about the Rosary during RE classes. Please ask your children about this topic and check their folder for papers and parent information.Parish Website
Our parish website is full of information. On it you will find pages for each Religious Education class listing prayers, links to games and parent information, sacrament forms and questions just to name a few. You will also find Mass times, past bulletins, ministry schedules, prayers, and much more. Please check out our website and if there is something you think would be great to have posted on it, let me know.
Classroom Activities
If you have any questions regarding activities in your child’s classroom, please contact your child’s catechist. On the parish website, all the catechists and aides are listed by grade level along with their phone numbers. For any questions after that, I may be reached by email or phone at the office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9-4p.m. or at home in the evenings.
Student Paperwork
There is a file on the porch of the Parish Center that has folders for each RE grade. If your children are absent from class, you can find additional items inside here.
Preschool/Kindergarten
Students in the Preschool class will received a copy of the book “Seeds of Faith” last month. This book teaches young children about loving and trusting God. Some of the topics are prayers, the Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Sacraments and sacred objects.
Confirmation
Confirmation for 32 students will be held on Sunday, November 21, 2021 at 1 p.m. – St. Mary Church. Letters were mailed to all families and sponsors. The information can also be found on the parish website.
Students currently in grades 6th and 7th grades will begin preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation in the fall of 2023. Information will be sent to parents in the coming week.
Safe Environment Program
The diocesan Safe Environment Program will be taught to all students in Preschool through High School on Sunday, October 17th. Please see information, the videos that will be shown and the Lesson taught on the parish website or by clicking here: https://stmarystpatrick.org/safe-environment.Living Rosary
The Living Rosary will be held on Sunday evening, October 24th at St. Mary Church, 7:00 p.m. Students and their families are encouraged to attend. The Rosary is needed now more than ever! If you have not attended this before, it is a really beautiful time of prayer and usually lasts a half hour. The Fifth/Sixth grade class and their families are asked to participate in this as part of “How we live our Catholic faith”. Because we are using lit candles this service may not be appropriate for small children.
A Public Rosary will be held at 12 noon on Saturday, October 16th at the gazebo in the Durand Square. Watch the bulletin for further information.
College Care Packages
Current High School seniors will be packing College Care Packages for first year college freshmen immediately after the Living Rosary in the church hall, Sunday, October 24th. Information will be mailed to the senior students. By helping out, you have your input in what you would like to receive next year.
Grounds Clean-up
Saturday, October 30th, is clean-up day at St. Mary Church, Cemetery, and Parish grounds. Bring a rake and meet at 9:00 a.m. at the parish center or the cemetery, weather permitting. All students are encouraged to participate in this service project.
Information
The Loop is a daily email from CatholicVote, with the latest news, updates and happenings. I like it because it’s an easy way to stay up to date and it only takes about a minute to read each morning: The Loop.
Out of Town?
If you will be out of town go to www.Masstimes.org to find a Catholic Church where you will be staying. They also have a free app available for your phone. Or if you have downloaded the parish app, you will find this on there also.
