In order to assist our students to develop what they learn of their faith and to strengthen their relationship with God, we ask parents to Reflect on this year's Expectations.

Do you attend Mass every Saturday or Sunday at Our Mother of Sorrows/Holy Cross Mission? (We have four Masses which gives us plenty of opportunities to work around our schedules.)

Do you spend time at home with your children in prayer?

Will your schedule allow you to attend one of the following options for adult faith study and prayer such as; Bible Study, RCIA, Study and Reflection, or Prayer Group? (RCIA and Spanish Adult Faith Study and Reflection are offered on Wednesday evenings, while children are attending catechetical class.)

Can you sign up, periodically during the catechetical program, to be present in the classroom your child is attending? (Wednesday between 6:00-7:15p.m.) 

Will you be able to attend the retreats, which will be offered for the children and adults during the year?

If your Child is preparing to do the Sacrament of 1St Communion and or Confirmation, it is a requirement for parents to assist to RCIA or Bible study, while your child is attending CCD Class (Wednesday between 6:00-7:15p.m.) 

LAS INSCRIPCIONES PARA NUEVOS ESTUDIANTES DE EDUCACIÓN RELIGIOSA INICIAN EL 01 DE JULIO DE 2024 Y TERMINAN EL 15 DE AGOSTO DE 2024

Las Gias  para la educación religiosa se enumeran a continuación:

Para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a desarrollar lo que aprenden de su fe y fortalecer su relación con Dios, les pedimos a los padres que reflexionen sobre las expectativas de este año.

¿Asiste a misa todos los sábados o domingos en Our Mother of Sorrows/Holy Cross Mission? (Tenemos cuatro misas, lo que nos brinda muchas oportunidades para adaptarnos a nuestros horarios).

¿Pasas tiempo en casa con tus hijos en oración?

¿Su horario le permitirá asistir a una de las siguientes opciones para el estudio de la fe y la oración de adultos, tales como; ¿Estudio Bíblico, RICA, Estudio y Reflexión o Grupo de Oración? (RICA y Estudio y Reflexión sobre la Fe para Adultos en Español se ofrecen los miércoles por la noche, mientras los niños asisten a clases de catequesis). 

¿Puede inscribirse, periódicamente durante el programa de catequesis, para estar presente en el salón de clases al que asiste su hijo? (Miércoles entre 6:00-7:15 p.m.)

 ¿Podrás asistir a los retiros que se ofrecerán para niños y adultos durante el año?

Si su hijo se está preparando para recibir el Sacramento de la 1.ª Comunión o la Confirmación, es un requisito que los padres asistan a RICA o al estudio bíblico, mientras su hijo asiste a la clase CCD (Miércoles entre las 6:00 y las 7:15 p. m.)

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1656) states that by word and example parents are the first teachers of the faith with regard to their children. As parents, you have the awesome responsibility of helping your child form a good conscience, distinguish between right and wrong, and good and evil. It is through your efforts, that your child establishes a system of values and a code of morality. It is through your lives, that he/she comes to understand forgiveness. It is by witnessing your faith in Christ, that your child comes to know Jesus. Each family home is called a “domestic church” (CCC 1666), and as parents, you help your child understand that every single thought, word, and action is either answering “YES” to God and walking towards Him, or answering “NO” to God and walking away from Him.
