Please Note:
For the protection of all children, Diocesan Policy states: "Church personnel are responsible for releasing minors in their care only to parents, legal guardians, or other persons designated by parents or legal guardians at the close of services or activities". If your child will be riding with someone other than a parent or legal guardian, please be sure to write a note for your child's teacher, stating WHO your child will be riding with. This applies to ALL grades!
Fr. Harlow gave an informational "tour" of Saint Charles Church, explaining many of the religious statues & the names of the various parts of the church. Father then gathered the students on the altar, where he explained the holiness of the altar area (Sanctuary), the Tabernacle, the various vestments worn for celebrating Mass,
and the holy items used during the Consecration during Mass.
Thank you, Father Harlow, for sharing your time and knowledge with us!
Fr. Harlow made similar presentations to the elementary grades.
May God's Blessings be upon the
Youth of Saint Charles Parish !!
| Father Harlow would like ALL students to learn the same "ACT OF CONTRITION", as follows: Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee. I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occassion of sin. Amen. |
| Students in grades 7, 8 & 9 participated in a project that required them to write down a character trait about themselves that they wanted to keep, AND, something they needed to "GET RID OF". Students then burned their papers that contained what they were getting rid of! They did a great job with this activity. |
| Thank you, parents, for your support of the RELIGIOUS EDUCATION programs here at Saint Charles Parish. |
