Dear Parent(s), Guardian(s) and Catechists:
Our Board of Education is in need of nominees to fulfill some openings this coming year. Even though we are blessed to have a School in our Parish, the Board of Catholic Education encompasses the faith beyond the school. We have Adult Faith Formation, PSR, Youth Ministry this fall, etc...
As you can imagine with a parish this large we have many opportunities to get involved. We would like to have representation from our Parish School of Religion at these meetings. Below is some information that is located on our web about the board. If interested please let me know ASAP so that I may provide your information to the appropriate party. It is a commitment, and they meet once a month. Depending on projects or committees it may involve more time as well. It is very rewarding and you can really see behind the scenes how much effort goes into play to keep the faith alive during all stages in our Catholic life.
