FIRST RECONCILIATION, FIRST COMMUNION, CONFIRMATION & FAITH FORMATION UPDATES:
Many greetings to all. . .
Spring is in the air even though life is not as we have known.
It is my hope that during this time when we are experiencing a “new normal,” we are able to find the good, to cherish the time when lives have slowed down from the busy schedules we are used to having. It is my hope that as families you are blessed with sharing more, sitting around the table sharing meals more and finding time to “just be.”
Please know that the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are “on hold” indefinitely. In other words April 18th and 19th are postponed indefinitely. Therefore, until further notice (which may be a while) these will not be happening.
The date for the Sacrament of Confirmation comes from the Diocese. We have not heard yet regarding the May 13th date.
However, I am quite sure that date will also need to be rescheduled. Unless you hear from me regarding May 13th, please consider
the Sacrament of Confirmation also “on hold.”
It is wonderful regarding the interactive reviews for grades 1-8 and the grades 9-10 assignments that have been sent. I am grateful to know that you are taking this time to “know faith.” Hopefully, you are also finding more time to pray as a family and share the awesome gift of faith with each other.
I invite you to go to our parish website and there you will find a daily recording of the Mass from our parish church. Each day, for as long as possible, we are recording the Mass for the day. There are also other links and helps on the website.
We have heard the phrase these days, “we are alone together.” Know that the parish staff hold you in prayer.
Please contact Marian at 320-363-7505 x152 if you have any questions.
