Dear Parishioners:

Over the past couple months, our parish, with the help of our Religious Education and School Offices, have made a special outreach to the parents of our students. We have provided a few ways they might be more actively involved in the catechetical formation of their children and in the celebration of Sunday Mass. I am very delighted to report that this effort has been very fruitful. While many places lament the lack of interest or enthusiasm for the faith within families, we are witnessing the very opposite! Mrs. Francis, our director of Religious Education, and our catechists are amazed to see our cafeteria filled with parents and children working together. Many families are requesting to be involved in the 11:00 am Sunday Mass. This is indeed an encouraging sign and I want to thank our parents for their positive response! Our hope and prayer is that these experiences will increase, improve, and draw our families ever closer to the Lord and the Church!

I hasten to add my thanks to Mrs. Francis, Mrs. Tuohy, and our devoted catechists for their contributions to this wonderful initiative!

Frè-m ak Sè-m yo,

Nan de dènyè mwa ki sot pase yo, pawas nou an, avèk èd Biwo Lekòl nou an ak Biwo Edikasyon relijyez nou an, te fè yon sansibilizasyon espesyal a paran elèv nou yo. Nou te founi kèk mwayen pou ke yo aktivman enplike nan fòmasyon katechis ti moun nou yo epi nan selebrasyon Lamès le Dimanch. Mwen trè kontan anonse ke efò sa a te pote fwi. Alòske nan anpil pawas moun ap plenyen ke manke enterè oswa antousyas pou lafwa nan fanmi, tandiske nan pawas nou an se lékontrè! Mme Francis, Direktris Edikasyon Relijyez nou an ak tout moun kap anseye Katechis nou yo, sezi wè Kafeteria ranpli ak manman, papa, pitit ki ap tyravay ansanm. Anpil nan fanmi yo mande pou yo patisipe nan Lamès 11:00 le Dimanch. Reyèlman vre se yon siy dankourajman e mwen vle remèsye paran nou yo pou reponse pozitiv sa a! Nou espere epi nap lapriyè pou ke eksperyans sa yo ogmante, amelyore epi rapwoche fanmiy nou yo pi pre GranMèt la, pi pre Legliz la.

Mwen vle remèsye yon fason espesyal Mme Francis ak Mme Tuohy ansanm ak tout katechis devwe nou yo pou kontribisyon yo a bèl inisyativ sa a.

Avèk afeksyon,
Msgr Gervasio
