6th Grade Religion and Math

Confirmation Update:

Forty Hours

      On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, October 16, 17 & 18, Saint Mary Parish will celebrate its Annual Forty Hours Eucharistic Devotion at 7pm in the church. We have asked all families to attend at least one evening of Forty Hours.

      Students preparing for the Sacraments (grades 2nd and 7th) are required to attend the closing ceremony on Tuesday as part of their retreat. Students in 6^th grade who are just starting preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation are strongly encouraged to attend either Sunday or Monday evening with their parents. We hope they will attend all 3 evenings!
