Thank you to all the families that joined us during our Open House/Registration on August 25th. If you didn’t make it, it’s not too late. Classes start September 8th.
Our theme this year is "We are the Voice of Jesus”. Each of us are called to know, listen and follow Jesus. It seems pretty simple, but in todays world it isn't an easy task and that is why we partner with the families in our parish in teaching the faith to our youth. This starts at home and is reinforced by our faith we live everyday of our lives – not just on Sunday.
May we allow the grace of the Holy Spirit to be effective in us as we build the kingdom of God and become a the Voice of Jesus. I look forward to another year full of many blessings.
Classes Start September 8th and are held Sunday mornings from 9:30 am – 11 am.
Kindergarten - 8th Grade

September 2013 Adult Faith Formation and Religion Teacher Certification/Maintenance Courses
Parents and Teachers in the School of Grace and Virtue
The Department of Catechesis and Formation of the Diocese of Covington is hosting the course “Parents and Teachers in the School of Grace and Virtue” on September 9, 16, 23, & 30 from 6:00 to 8:45 p.m. at St. Patrick Church in Taylor Mill, KY. Join Fr. Jeff VonLehmen for a supportive and practical, hands-on course to aide parents and teachers in dealing with everything from internet challenges, bullying, addictions, anger, envy, hostility, and peer pressure, to secularism, relativism, and the forces of the culture of death. Based on Father Edward Flanagan’s Boy’s Town Model, the course affirms parents as the primary educators of their children and equips parents and teachers alike with skills to build up children and adolescents with the “spiritual muscles” necessary to mature in Christ, in virtue, and in good character. The course is open to all interested adults and qualifies as maintenance for religion teachers who have reached the Advanced Level of certification. The cost for the course is only $25. Enrollment is limited to sixteen persons. Mothers and fathers are encouraged to attend together, if possible. Several registration methods are available: online at www.religiouseducation.covingtondiocese.org, by email to catechesis@covdio.org, by phone to 859-392-1500 ext.1533 (as of September 3), or via USPS mail by downloading a registration form from the website above and mailing form and payment to the Department of Catechesis and Formation, 1125 Madison Ave., Covington, KY 41011-3115 (as of September 3).
