PREP First-Grade Parent Meeting on Jan. 19

Each year, we ask our first-grade parents to organize and work the First Communion Reception. The help in putting on this event is very much needed, but it is also a great way for you all to get a sneak peek at what your own children will be experiencing next year! If you are a parent of a first-grader, please plan to attend a planning meeting in the church on January 19 following the 9:30 liturgy while your children are in the PREP classrooms. We'll go over the timeline and jobs, and also answer any questions you may have. First Communion is Sunday, April 27, the week after Easter. Please save this date as well.

VIRTUS Training for Adults

The VIRTUS® programs assist the Church in being a safe haven for children and a messenger for preventing child sexual abuse within the Church and society in general. The Archdiocese requires all volunteers who have regular contact with children/youth and could be perceived as an adult in charge and/or all volunteers in ministries serving vulnerable adults to complete the training. This includes parents who will be in the classroom for holiday parties and other events throughout the year.
