On October 12 at 6 p.m. in the Activity Center, we will host our first religious class for students and their parents to begin our 2020/2021 Catechetical Year. It will be an orientation class and from that day forward, once a week on Monday’s, we will provide a catholic education for children and youth until December 7, 2020. Hopefully, with the pandemic, we will be able to continue our classes after the first of the year. I hope and pray that COVID-19 will not sabotage our plans. Parents, children, teachers, my staff and myself—we all are taking a risk. To minimize this risk, we follow COVID-19 regulations dictated by our Governor and the AoD. Maintenance will be at the doors to sanitize it. Parents, students and teachers must wear a mask and please maintain social distance of at least 6’. Upon entering, students and parents will have their temperatures taken. For the first part of the class, I as the Pastor of the Parish, will address students and parents and once again parents will be requested to fill out a more detailed form, that in the case of emergency, we will have the information to contact the parent. After my presentation, students will meet their catechists. To make life easier all the questions or problems or to report an absence, parents will call directly with the catechists. The Catechist will have all the answers. In the case of further assistance you may call to the parish office at (586) 772-2720 to talk directly to me. We are in the office daily, however in accordance with the AoD the office doors remain locked. You may call to set up an appointment.
