1St Semester Calendar 2025-2026
Greetings,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to take a moment to clarify the structure of our Sacrament preparation programs for First Communion and Confirmation. Each of these is a two-year program—Year 1 and Year 2 for First Communion, and likewise for Confirmation.
It was recently brought to my attention that some may have received information suggesting these were one-year programs. I’ve spoken with our staff, and they shared that they either communicated the two-year requirement or directed individuals to speak with me directly.
If you feel you were given incorrect information, I sincerely apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused. I understand how important these milestones are, and I truly appreciate your commitment and involvement. At the same time, I want to reaffirm that the two-year structure remains a necessary part of our preparation process.
Reminder: Faith Formation Classes for all Grades are held at St. Mary’s Parish Center in Minoa.
Grades 1–6 meet on Monday nights from 6:00 to 7:00 PMGrades 7–10 meet on Sunday mornings from 9:30 AM to 10:45 AM,
followed by attending Mass at 11:00 AM at St. Mary’s Church
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
God Bless
Gary
