We are very excited to begin a new year of faith learning with all of you and look forward to meeting the new families and students in our faith formation classes. The ultimate objective of all catechesis (faith formation) is intimacy and communion with Jesus Christ (National Directory of Catechesis 55). We hope this year that the students in our program will develop a closer friendship with Jesus through prayer, instruction and fellowship with their peers and catechists. This intimacy with Jesus however, cannot happen without the help of our parents. As your child’s primary educator in the faith, you are their most influential catechist by your words, actions and the experiences that you share as a family. Regular attendance at Mass and faith formation class will not only help your child understand and appreciate their Catholic faith but it will nurture their spiritual closeness with Jesus. We wish you a wonderful new school year and look forward to being a part of your child’s faith journey. God’s blessings, Brenda Mears Faith Formation Director Upcoming Faith Formation September Dates: September 14 New and Returning Catechist & Coordinator In-Service 6:00pm September 18 Catechetical Sunday (9:00am Mass) September 21 Faith Formation Classes begin for everyone- We will celebrate with an opening Mass for all – Grades K-12 (6pm Mass) Living Rosary 5:40pm September 21 Reconciliation, Confirmation and Eucharist Information Session – 7:00pm (in Church) 2nd Grade, 3rd grade & 4-12th grade, Reconciliation and Confirmation Parents, Students, and Teachers September 25 Faith Formation Classes for Kindergarten and Liturgy of the Word September 28 Faith Formation Classes for Grades 1-12 Orientation and Welcome Back Evening for New and Returning Catechists & Coordinators Wednesday, September 14, 2016 in the Church from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Catechists and Coordinators will learn the “how-to’s” of teaching faith formation at Holy Cross as well as receive an orientation on the textbooks they will be using.

Children and their teachers are called to come forward after the opening prayer when they receive a special blessing from the priest. They will go to hear the Gospel reading, participate in an activity, prayer and song. During offertory time, the teachers bring the children back to the assembly.
