Dates in red indicate back-to-back weeks of class 
Our schedule this year may be subject to change, but we will try to keep it as close as possible to the calendar we have here. Dates for parent  meetings and days for our Sacramental Retreats are yet to be determined as we need more time to coordinate with St. Michael in Emlenton. We also hope to include some other fun opportunities for families, and for our EDGE and PURPOSE (Confirmation) programs. Please consider volunteering so that we can make that possible. 
Please pray for our Catechists as we prepare for this time of getting to know your children better and accompanying all of you on this journey of Faith.
