Welcome Back to School!
It is with joy and gratitude that we celebrate
the start of the school year for our Parish Family schools at Our Lady of Fatima and St. Anne. We pray for our Principals, Karianne Earnest and Sean Haffey, and all the faculty, staff, administrators, and parents. May you feel the guiding presence of Christ every day as you educate and care for our children.
Students, may you feel the love and support of your Parish Family community–we are so happy you’re here. May you have a year of growing in the knowledge of God’s love for you.
We invite all to join in welcoming the new school year at the First Friday Masses on September 5th: 9 AM at Our Lady of Fatima and 8:45 AM at St. Anne.
Sacramental Preparation
For Adults
Thinking about becoming Catholic? Do you, or someone you know, have questions about Catholicism, or want to take the steps to become Catholic? We are beginning our annual sessions that help non-Catholics find answers about Catholicism and that assist them in becoming Catholic.
Sessions will be held on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30, starting on September 18. The first session will be held at St. Anne. Join us if you have questions or would like to learn more about the process! Fill out this Becoming Catholic Interest Form and one of our staff will be in touch with you.
For Children
First Reconciliation and First Communion typically happen in second grade. Confirmation is happening for children in seventh and eighth grade. This year, Jessica Harris is coordinating the Sacramental preparation for 1st Reconciliation/1st Communion for all parishes, and Susan Burdett is coordinating Confirmation for all parishes. If your child falls in one of these age ranges, registrations will be available the weekend of August 30/September 1. There are two opportunities for parents to learn about the preparation programs, dates, and expectations, and to register in-person, if you wish.
Monday, September 8, at 7 PM,
