REGISTRATION DATES
Registration for CRE and Confirmation Classes will be after all Masses the weekend of August 24-25. Calendars will be given out as part of the registration packet. Online registration will be available by September 1st. All classes are limited in size.
Sunday CRE begins Sept 8 after 9:30 Mass. Wednesday CRE begins Sept 18, 3:45-4:45.
The meeting for parents of teens in first year Confirmation (public school students 9th grade and older) is Sept 17; the meeting for parents of teens in second year confirmation (public school students who have completed Confirmation One or Manogue students who are 10th grade or older) is Sept 16. -
We hope that public school children will continue to attend CRE every year until they are confirmed or complete their sophomore year (if confirmed before high school.) The knowledge they gain, learning with others who hold similar values and a spiritual understanding of life, experiencing the good times and the challenges of being in a faith community – these are irreplaceable lessons. Religious Education classes are very important for children to develop a Catholic identity.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

O angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God’s love commits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen.
Grace before Meals [Kindergarten]
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee! Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Our Father [1st graders]
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Glory Be [1st graders]
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Act of Contrition [2nd graders]My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.
