Feast of St. Casimir of Poland

Dear RE Families,
Today sure feels like spring is here!  I hope everyone had a great weekend, getting outside to enjoy the weather.  

If you can believe it, we are halfway done with Lent.  Only 3 weeks until Holy Week!  We have our Lenten promises on the doorway to serve as a reminder to our students what they want to to do and to stay strong in their promise!  If we have fallen away from it, we can always pick ourselves up, dust off, and go at again these next few weeks!  

This year at our Easter Vigil, we have 4 young ones being brought into the Church.  Two of them are our own RE students--Sophia and Lincoln!   Please keep these two in your prayers as their big day gets closer and as they wrap up their studies on the sacraments.  They are excited to receive the Sacraments of Initiation at the vigil on March 30.  Keep them in your prayers.

Blessings as you continue on your Lenten journey,
Amy and Cindy

First Eucharist Parent Meeting
We will be holding our first Eucharist Parent Info meetings this month!  Please plan to attend one that works for your schedule.  There are two options to attend the meeting.  Option 1 is on Monday, March 11 at 6:45pm during our RE class time OR on Wednesday, March 13 at 3:30pm.  Both meetings will take place in the Parish Hall.  You can park in the lot at Reed/Trier and enter at Door 13.

Registration for 24-25
We will begin the process to register students up for the 2024-25 year.  Form will be sent home on March 18 with students in grades 1-7.  No fees are due at this time.  The form returned helps me with planning and purchasing of textbooks and items.  

Outstanding Fees for 23-24
We have a handful of families with outstanding fees still for this current RE year.  I sent home second notices and sent it via email.  It would greatly help me to have these paid off as we get ready for the upcoming year.  Please email me with questions.

Holy Week Activities
The holiest of all weeks is at the end of this month.  This allows great family time celebrating all these holy days.  The schedule for St. Charles will be coming out in the bulletin, however, below are some dates with links explaining holy week, courtesy of Hallow!  By the way, Hallow is a great Catholic app!
