Bibles- 3rd students received new Study Bibles Wednesday, Sept 20 and Sunday, Sept 24. Details will be sent to Church School families in the fall.
First Communion- This Milestone is open to all students who along with their parents are ready to learn more about this special Sacrament. We mark this milestone at Fourth Grade and hope that all students will receive Communion by this age. We ask that a parent or caring adult attend the learning event with their student:
