First Holy Communion Banners

Please note that all FHC Banners were due on Sunday, April 14th.  If you have not yet handed in your banner, please do so immediately.  You may drop off banners in the CCD office on Sunday morning between 8:45 and 11:15am.  Please be sure that your child's FIRST and LAST names appear on the front of the banner.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Teacher Appreciation Mass

CCD classes take place over 28 weeks from September through May but the time commitment of those people who volunteer to help educate our children in our faith is far greater. Please join us on Sunday, May 5th at the 11:15am Mass to give thanks to those who have given so generously of their time and talents. 

Confirmation Students

Commitment/Service Hours Reflection Reports are due TODAY, Sunday, April 28th.
