NEWS: Missed Religious Education Registration?
Religious education classes are rapidly filling up and with over 900 students to place, we must ask you to respect the following changes to our registration process:
Please note that this week will be the last week, August 31-Sept. 3 that we can process class registrations in the parish office during regular office hours (Mon-Thu 9am-Noon & 12:30-3:00pm)
We will offer one more registration opportunity on Sunday, September 13th from 8:30am-1:00pm in the parish center for any new families and those who “forgot to sign up”.
Also, due to the large volume of students, we will not be able to address class changes at this time.
We will, however, take your request and will attempt to accommodate you after classes begin.
Thank you for your cooperation!
