Feast of St. Andre Bessette

Dear RE Families,

Happy New Year! I hope this new year has found you all doing well! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas with their families as well. We are still in the Christmas season having just celebrated the Epiphany and will end this Sunday with Baptism of our Lord.   

As a reminder, progress reports for the first half of the year were sent home on our last class day in December.  If you missed getting your child's, please check his/her bag/folder.  Our catechists wanted to give you all an update on where they are with the curriculum and the individual progress of your child.  

Speaking of our catechists, Mr. Chris Wroe, our 7th grade catechist, will be stepping down for the remainder of the year to take care of family out of town. In the meantime, I have asked last year's catechist, Mr. Jordan McClead to fill in when he can while Cindy and I will fill in the rest of the weeks. I am in hopes of finding a permanent catechist to provide stability for our students but they won't miss a beat with our All-Star group of subs.  

I know the new year will bring many blessings to us all!  Looking forward to a wonderful 2025! 

Blessings,
Keith and Cindy
