It's Catechetical Sunday this weekend! If you will be helping teach in Faith Formation this year (in whatever program!), Fr. Rob will do a blessing over you on Sunday at Mass. Please pray for all of our catechists as we do our best to teach and nurture the students virtually for these first few months!

And don't forget that as your child(ren)'s parent(s), you are their primary catechist! I'll be praying for all of you as we start this new Faith Formation year--that you are able to connect and grow spiritually with your children in beautiful ways.

Upcoming Events

Deliveries for the first Faith Formation package will happen this coming week!

Keep an eye out for your family's package! You may receive yours as early as Monday, but you should definitely receive it by the end of the day on Friday, the 25th. If you do not receive your package by then or if you do not receive the correct materials for your child(ren)'s age level(s), please let me know! We'll make sure you get what you need and make sure it's correct for future deliveries!

Faith Formation Kick-Off at Blessed Sacrament: September 27

To kick-off our year, we're inviting all families to participate in an Acts of Mercy Blitz around Midland, by doing one act of mercy that falls under each category of the 7 Corporal Works of Mercy! We'll invite you to share your experiences via Facebook with videos, pictures, or comments! More details to come! :)

CROP Walk: October 4

This year's CROP Walk is virtual! After Mass on October 4, everyone is invited to join us as we walk the big block around church to show support for ending hunger in our community. (If you don’t feel comfortable walking with us, consider taking a walk around your block with a friend or with your family.) After the walk, the Knights of Columbus will be hosting a hot dog lunch. You can sign up to walk and/or donate with the link below.

Sock Collection: October 4

Our Corporal Work of Mercy for the month of October is Clothe the Naked, so we will be collecting socks for local homeless shelters. You can drop them off to the parish center any time the week of the 4th.

Middle School Youth Ministry Calendar

September-December 2020

NOTE: These are just the dates that your child will have virtual lessons/meetings. We are also hoping to offer other family events and service projects throughout the semester, but those are not listed. You'll receive updates about those events in future Flocknotes!

Volunteers Needed

6th Grade Catechists: I'm looking for a couple of parents who would be willing to serve as catechists this year! For this first half of the year, your responsibilities would be pretty minimal as you would simply be facilitating the virtual discussions that happen each month. If we are able to move to in-person programming in January, you would be helping to lead the activities and discussions for the 6th grade small group at the parish center. You will always be leading with a co-catechist! Please let me know if you are interested, and I can give you more details! Thank you!!

Have a great weekend!

In Christ,
