Monday E Class

Hi families! 

My name is Mario Fiore and I'll be your child's PREP teacher this year. I was so happy to meet your children this past week and I look forward to meeting anyone who missed class. It will be an exciting year as we prepare your child for Confirmation. We'll cover many topics this year including the Sacraments and the Grace we receive from them, the Holy Spirit and how he works in our lives, Confirmation and what it means to us, but most importantly I hope to lead your child to a strong relationship with Jesus! It is an individual journey for each of us. The more we open our hearts to what Jesus wants to reveal to us, the closer we get to him. 

 We will use the Ascension Press "Chosen" program. (I will send a separate email with instructions on how to access videos at home).  Each week, we will cover different themes all pointing to preparing each child to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Some of the themes are 1) understanding who the students are in the eyes of God, 2) who God the Father, the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit are to them, and ultimately 3) understanding what their role is as a Catholic Christian and how they can live to bring others closer to Jesus.

 Some things to think about:

1) Confirmation will be Thursday, March 13, 2025

2) Students should think about and complete a Service Project (we'll discuss this in class)

3) Students will pick a Saint to take as their "new name" and guide in their life- and do a project on that saint - more details to follow

4) Students will choose a Sponsor to guide them on their journey of faith and their lives

 Some expectations:

1) Students come to class prepared with their book, something to write with and a cinch sack or bag to keep everything together (they will receive handouts in class)

2) Please let me know if your child will miss class - I will send an email recapping the class so that the students who miss can make up the class at home

3) Lots of Joy! as we journey together with your child and Jesus :-)

 If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out any time. If you have anything you'd like to discuss with me about your child that would make their experience better, please let me know.
