Feast of The Presentation of the Lord
Dear Religious Education Families,
I hope everyone is doing well with our recent snowstorm and cold blasts the past few weeks. I am looking forward to getting back to our weekly classes and pray that no more weather events take place on Monday nights! Thank you all for your patience and understanding with the closings the past two weeks. Reminder, I will send a mass email out as well as put it on the two local news stations, WANE and WPTA. Please make sure that my emails are coming through from the two accounts religiouseducation@stcharlesschoolfw.org and religiouseducation@scbfw.org. Expect the call between 12 noon and 3pm on Monday afternoons if needed.
Reminder for our 7th Grade Parents: The Confirmation/Theology of the Body Parent Meeting has been rescheduled for tonight, February 2, in the Parish Hall.
We continue through Ordinary Time this month of February and will begin Lent with Ash Wednesday on February 18. This is a great time to begin thinking about our Lenten journey and how we plan to grow closer to the Lord for those 40 days. As we begin this Lenten journey, leading up to the holiest of our Church's feast days, what are you going to do? As I challenge our Rel Ed students to come up with what they want to give up or do extra to bring them closer to God, what will help me remember the true meaning of sacrifice in order to come to a deeper relationship with God? Our students will fill out purple crosses to create a big cross this year to put up in our doorway. It serves as a great reminder of what we are striving to do to change for the better. Each week as they walk through our door, they will be reminded of their promise!
Thank you all for sending your children to us and allowing us to assist you in their Faith formation!
Blessings to all,
Keith and Cindy

Unpaid Fees for 2025-2026
Some families have not yet paid fees for the current RE year. Reminder emails were sent out last month. In anticipation of registration for 2026-2027, we want to be sure to close out the fees for the current year. We thank you in advance for your help in getting these paid.
