Dear Parents,
As mentioned at the opening meeting there will be registration of students for the Sacraments of
· Baptism (if they have not been baptized before)
· Reconciliation (Grade 2 students)
· First Holy Communion (Grade 3 students)
· Confirmation (7th and 8th grade students – a two year program)
Registration will take place Sunday September 11th from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and Sunday September 25th from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM.
Anyone who wishes to enroll their child in one of the sacramental programs here at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs must understand that the child is required to attend the 1:00 PM Mass with their fellow classmates here at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Church.
Registration will require you to bring your child’s Baptismal certificate. No one can register for a sacrament unless they present the child’s Baptismal certificate.
Third Grade students who will be enrolled for First Holy Communion must have already received the sacrament of Reconciliation in second grade. If they did not they must sign up for The Sacrament of Reconciliation this year and then receive First Holy Communion next year in 4th grade.
Classes for all students receiving the sacraments will begin in October and are listed on the yearly calendar. The yearly calendar has been posted on the blog for your convenience.
Should you have any questions you may address them to me on Sunday when you register your child. Please remember that you must bring your child’s baptismal certificate with you. If you believe that we already have a copy then call the office to have your child’s file checked. Unfortunately, many parents never brought the certificate in with them at the original registration which may have been when your child was enrolling for PreK.
Sincerely,
Andrew G. Woods
