Have a wonderful Summer Break!

I want to once again thank the parent(s) and guardian(s) that have allowed us to partner with you to teach the faith to our youth. It's hard to believe that the school year has ended. This year has been a success. We introduced Saint's Alive, started a foundation for our youth ministry program, revamped our confirmation prep, had multiple service projects including Operation Rice Bowl and we couldn't have done this without your support.

We have some amazing catechist's that teach the faith and I want to especially thank Amy Racke for her years of service in the program. As many of you know, Amy will not be returning next year as she focuses on her family. She will be deeply missed and we will continue to pray for her and her family. Thank you AMY, you are an amazing catechist and our program has been blessed to have you over the years.

I want to once again recognize those families that made sacrifices to ensure their child was here each Sunday.

Those that had GOOD ATTENDANCE for the year missing 3 or less are:

1st Grade - Gabrielle, Emily, and Harrison
2nd Grade - Chance, Lillian, Kaylee, Kaleb, Ella
3rd Grade - Brianna and Brandon
4th grade - Logan and Joey
5th Grade - Sophia, Corey,and Nathaniel
6th Grade - Anna Vaught
7th Grade - Brandon and Shelby
8th Grade - Nick and Clarissa

Those with PERFECT ATTENDANCE:
1st Grade - Zack
5th Grade - Wyatt and Grace
7th Grade - Natalie

At this time it looks like we may have filled both the 3rd Grade and 6th Grade Catechist needs for next year. Again, my goal is to have a catechist and aide in each grade, especially the younger grades. If you are interested please let me know. All volunteers must be virtus trained and those that are going to teach the faith must work towards their certification as well. It is an amazing calling that I have been blessed with going on 15 years.
