Week of First Communion



Dear First Communion Parents,

This is a very special week in your child’s life.  The time is close for receiving Jesus for the first time.  Practice will be on this Thursday evening.  On Friday we have prepared a special “retreat” so we can focus on the meaning of the Eucharist.

On Thursday, May 9th, there will be practice at 7:00 p.m. for all.  Please sit in the assigned seat according to the attached seating chart.  Each household needs to have one parent from each set at the practice.  The students will then be called to the back of Church to process in.  Everyone will remain seated as the children process to their seats.  Then the teachers will direct the practice.

Friday, May 10th is Retreat Day.  Students come to their classrooms as usual. Students may come out of uniform.  PSR students are to be in Kelley Hall by 8:20 a.m. PSR dismissal will be at 3:00 p.m. (Parents please come to Kelley Hall.)  Regular school dismissal will be at 3:10.  PSR children need $2.00 for lunch and 40 cents for a drink if lunch is packed. 

On Saturday, May 11th, the students are asked to be in Kelley Hall or their classrooms 30 minutes before the 11:00 Mass.  Students who have a reading part should get the part from the teacher and take it to Mass.  (Please practice at home to read slowly and clearly.) Also, any jackets, etc. should be taken to Church by the parents.

There is no limited seating for family members, but, Church will be crowded!  Siblings will need to sit behind First Communicants with other relatives.

Regarding video taping and photos:  NO VIDEO CAMERAS OR FLASHES ARE ALLOWED.  This is to avoid distraction for the children.  We also ask that no pictures be taken during the ceremony.  There will be an opportunity to take pictures at the end of Mass once the official photographer has finished with the class pictures.

We will explain everything on Thursday evening.  There will be programs to follow for the Mass on Saturday.

We are looking forward to this special occasion!  Thank you for your cooperation!

Feast of St. Joseph the Worker

Wednesday, May 1, 2013

Today, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Joseph the Worker.

Since this is the patron saint of our parish and school, I want to wish you a Happy Feast Day.

We find our dignity in our work, in raising a family, in participating in the life of the Father’s creation. Joseph the Worker was able to help participate in the deepest mystery of creation.

Reconciliation Update


The season of Lent reminds us to look in our hearts and see if we have been truly faithful in our relationship with God and with others.

Jesus said “If your brother sins against you seven times a day and seven times a day turns back to you saying, “I am sorry, forgive him.” God forgives us again and again. God asks us in turn to forgive one another. On March 10th and 17th our students will be able to reflect on their lives and on their need for reconciliation with God and with others.  This will be our last reconciliation service for the school year.  As parents I encourage you if you have not already done so, to take part in the sacrament as well during lent.  See the bulletin for times of reconciliation for our parish or another parish in the area.

PSR MASS

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Next Sunday we will attend 9:30 am mass as a class like we did at our PSR Opening. 
We ask that you meet in the Kelley Hall at 9:10am so we can take attendance and then be in the church by 9:20am.  The students will sit with their class towards the front of church.  Parents may sit anywhere and if you happen to be running late your child is more than welcome to find their way up to their class.  Or they may sit with you.

This is just another way showing that we belong to a community of believers as we continue this year of faith.

Disciple of Christ,
Steven M. Fischer, CRE

P.S. Confirmation Parents please come to the library after mass.

Help Needed!!! 5th Grade Service Project

To PSR students and parents,

Our Diocese has chosen as our mission territory and assistance project this year the inner cities of our Diocese. In conjunction with this mission we at St. Joseph PSR are going to undertake a service project.

Below is a list of needed supplies to be collected on November 18th, in keeping with an attitude of gratitude and thanksgiving for what we have. You can bring donated items to the 5th grade class of Mike Dischar who will organize them.

Ideally the student him/herself will use personal resources or somehow earn the money to collect donated items. If this is not possible perhaps they could accompany a parent to a store to assist with choosing what to donate. This is not intended to be an expensive endeavor. If everyone gives a little it adds up to a lot.

Thank you in advance,

Mike Dischar
5th Grade PSR instructor

Paper Products:
paper towels
paper plates
napkins

Cleaning supplies:
glass cleaner
furniture polish
toilet/bathroom cleaners
floor cleaners

Plastic gloves for handling food

School supplies: (we currently have plenty of notebooks)
Pens
Pencils (maybe some "fun" ones- think Dollar Tree, Big Lots, etc.)
Glue Sticks

Trick or Treat with the Saints.....

Halloween was in the air for our Kindergartners and boy were they in for a special treat.  Today was an opportunity to have fun by going trick or treating, dressing up like their favorite character.  As with anything there is always something to learn.  Today they weren't going to their neighbors house, but to the gym where they will get a treat from a saint.


The 8th grader's are well under way for their preparation for Confirmation.  Part of this preparation is picking a saint name, one that relates to them.  Remember the saints were ordinary people that did extraordinary things. They lived the faith and our 8th grader's did that today.  Just like the saints they were ordinary people, but what they did today was extraordinary because they taught the faith to others.

They shared a little bit about their saint and what they did.  Since teachers typically are known for apples, that is exactly what St. Elizabeth Ann Seton gave out to her trick or treaters along with some homework.

 
The remaining saints continued to share their story and passed out some candy to the trick or treators.  The children knew where to go by the lighted jack o'lanterns.


 



The children heard the story of about fourteen saints, from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton all the way to St. Joan of Arc.

Click on the following link to hear more about The tale of Jack O'Lantern

Don't forget that November 1st is a holy day of obligation - All Saints Day.  
Mass times are 6:30 AM, 8:30 AM or 7 PM

While affirming the vocation of parenthood as a key to changing society and essential to the Church, the course offers parents tools to build up their children with the “spiritual muscles” necessary to cooperate with grace so as to grow as children of the light and to handle and overcome the wound in the human family, temptations, and/or trials of the world which pull them away from God, the Church and from their own true vocations.  Based on Father Edward Flanagan’s Boy’s Town Model for raising children to be responsible, productive, virtuous adults, the course will affirm parents as the primary educators of their children and give parents and teachers alike some spiritual skills to help children, adolescents and teens mature in Christ, in virtue, better behavior, better choices and good character. The course is open to all interested adults and qualifies as maintenance for certified religion teachers.

Did you see our flying World Mission Rosary?

This Sunday we used the Columban Father's Mission Education program for elementary and middle school students, titled Journey With Jesus, which is an exciting, informative DVD series with related curriculum that will teach your students about Catholic mission today and the call to mission all baptized people share.

Journey With Jesus teaches your students about different cultures, the importance of peace-building, care for the environment, respect for other faiths and understanding and respecting all of God’s people.

Since the month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary we took advantage of lifting our prayers to the mission.  If you were looking out your window, like Fr. Gerry you may have seen our Rosary being lifted up to God. That's right, a flying rosary.


Fr. Gerry shared this idea, and it was amazing seeing it in action.  We prayed the rosary in the library, a rosary which was made out of balloons.  Then after we completed the rosary we took the rosary outstide so we can let our prayers fly to heaven.

Each decade of the World Mission Rosary calls to mind an area
where the Church continues her evangelizing mission:

WHITE – Symbolizing EUROPE, the seat of the Holy Father, shepherd of the world

YELLOW – The morning light of the east, for ASIA

BLUE – For the ocean surrounding the ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC

GREEN – For the forests and grasslands of AFRICA

RED – Calling to mind the fire of faith that brought missionaries to the AMERICAS

Location Change for September 23rd

Attention all parents.  The school is having their book fair September 22 and 23rd.  Instead of meeting in the Library we will be meeting in the Gym.  I will have signs up as a reminder.  Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.

PSR OPENING MASS


Today was a very special day.  It was the first ever PSR Opening Mass and I want to thank all the families that made it a priority to make sure your kids were here and on time to be able to sit with their class.  It is so powerful to see the youth active and involved in mass.  The eighth graders were greeting the parishioners as they entered mass and they would love to do this each Sunday.  


 All of the children were very reverent and I know that sitting in the front they were able to see everything taking place on the altar. It was awesome to see the younger children looking at the older children that were setting the example.  This is a tradition we will need to continue. 


Our servers were students both past and present taking part in this ministry. 


In a very special way we want to thank our Catechists.  Their dedication and time to our parish is truly impressive. A catechist is a person who reflects to others what God has spoken to their hearts.  You can see how each of us could be called a catechist.  First and foremost, parents have a critical role as the primary teachers of the children in the ways of faith.  However, this weekend we draw attention to those who take up the catechetical ministry on behalf of our parish.

As Fr. Gerry mentioned in the bulletin, "remember them in prayer and commit ourselves to helping them when they need our assistance.  Our catechists are essential to the overall mission of our parish.  A special word of gratitude and appreciation to them will be a great encouragement to them as well."

New Parent Orientation

Thank you to all that parents that joined us at our very first New Parent Orientation.  During this time we went over the program, the parent handbook, websites, and took a tour of the campus.  We visited some of the classrooms and the convent.  This is a very exciting year for us with the start of a kindergarten program and also a very active eighth grade.

There is something always going on and we couldn't do this without the support of the parish and of course our parents.  The home is the "first church", and we are so grateful for the sacrifices you make to allow your children to be part of our program.  If you have any suggestions or comments please let me know, because we are always looking at ways we can enhance our program.

PS. Remember to add your email address on the main page so that anytime there is an update on the blog you will receive it.  Just another way for you to keep informed on what is going on with our Parish School of Religion.

It's not too late to register!


Thank you to all the families that joined us during our Open House/Registration on August 12th. If you didn’t make it, it’s not too late.  Classes start August 19thIt is an exciting year with the start of our Kindergarten program and a lot of enthusiastic catechists ready to start the new year.

Our theme this year is ““We hold a treasure, not made of gold”.  Many may recall this from the song Earthen Vessels which reminds us that we have a treasured gift from God; and that gift is life, life that is contained in the earthen vessels we call our bodies. Our unique life is THE most precious gift we’ve been given.  It makes all other gifts possible. It makes us a Child of God, able to live our lives, love as the Spirit urges, and be the active force of Jesus in and to the world.  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 true Disciple of Christ.   I look forward to another year full of many blessings.


 

Classes Start August 19th
and are held Sunday mornings from 9:30 am – 11 am.
Kindergarten - 8th Grade

If you would like more information or to register a new student call (859) 240-8207 or E-Mail stjoepsr@hotmail.com

Open House/Registration Letter


Dear PSR parents,

Blessings! It is the mission of St. Joseph Parish School of Religion to inspire students; to embrace the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, to be and to do their best, to be lifelong learners and to live their Catholic faith. We seek to fulfill this mission with the help of Christ, who leads us to oneness with God.  In order for this program to serve its mission, it is essential that the administration, catechists and parents all partner together for the sake of the children and their families.

The entire Diocese of Covington will be using the Blest Are We: Faith and Word Edition which has been revised with the New Roman Missal.  This is a comprehensive Spiral Thematic Curriculum based on the Four Pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  (What Catholics Believe, How Catholics Worship, How Catholics Live, and How Catholics Pray).  During this open house take a look at the books that your child will be using.  After reviewing these books I have no doubt the Diocese has made the right decision.  Many parents asked about music and your children will be learning new songs which are built into the program. 

Secondly, we have some new catechist’s this year and we would like for you to keep them in your prayers as they bring our Catholic Faith to the youth of our parish.  We would like to welcome; Amy Mardis (K), Katherine Turner (6th), and Rachel Rottman (7th) as Catechists for the PSR program.  Susan Stewart will be our 8th grade catechist and Kari Fischer will be organizing the service projects for PSR throughout the year.  Lord we ask for a special blessing on all the catechists both new and returning for their stewardship to our parish.  We are so grateful to them for all they do in your name. 
 
Furthermore; this year’s theme is ““We hold a treasure, not made of gold”.  Many may recall this from the song Earthen Vessels which reminds us that we have a treasured gift from God; and that gift is life, life that is contained in the earthen vessels we call our bodies. Our unique life is THE most precious gift we’ve been given.  It makes all other gifts possible. It makes us a Child of God, able to live our lives, love as the Spirit urges, and be the active force of Jesus in and to the world.  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 true Disciple of Christ.   I look forward to another year full of many blessings.

Disciple of Christ,
Steven M. Fischer, CRE

WHY SHOULD YOUR CHILD ATTEND PSR?


·          Do you have a child attending a public or non-catholic private school between Kindergarten and 8th grade?

·          Does your child plan on receiving a sacrament next year?

·          Does your child attend Covington Latin or Villa and is of age to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation?

·          Do you want your children to continue the faith traditions that have been passed onto you by our Catholic family?

** If you answered yes to any of these questions then your child needs to attend PSR! **
