SECOND COLLECTION NEXT WEEKEND, SEPT 19/20
For the Diocese of San Juan de la Maguana in the
Dominican Republic
The Mission Office cultivates peace by fostering a relationship
based on love, faith, trust, hope, and respect between the
Diocese of Orlando and The Diocese of San Juan de la
Maguana in the Dominican Republic.
The Mission Office strives to empower the people of our
sister diocese, and improve their lives. As well as to educate
and encourage the members of the Diocese of Orlando to use
their time, talent, and treasure to reach out to those in need.
We operate fives schools and organize education, construction
and medical mission trips each year.
Please be as generous as possible
Our religious education program has just started
and is for all young people not attending Catholic
schools. It is very important not only to prepare them
for confession, First Holy Communion, and
Confirmation but it is also very important to prepare
our young to enter a world that is very materialistic
and often challenges our faith values.
I encourage every parent, whatever your faith, to
enter your young into our religious faith program.
Give them a helping hand by registering them in our
religious faith formation. I would very much
appreciate it and be very grateful to you.
I really do care about the spiritual welfare of our
young people.
Father Joseph A. Nolan
Faith Formation
Faith Formation classes are on Wednesdays, at 5:30 p.m.
for children in 1st through 8th grade.
All children in 2nd grade should register for First Holy
Communion. 7th & 8th graders should sign up for Confirmation
classes. You can register at 5:00 p.m. on September 16th in
the Parish Hall before class begins. I look forward to seeing
you!
On Sunday, September 20th we will have our first
Children’s Mass at 11:00 a.m. All families are invited to join us
for worship and refreshments after in the Parish Hall.
Sunday, September 20th is our first Life Teen meeting from
12-2:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall.
For any questions about Faith Formation please contact
