Religious Ed News
On Thursday, August 20, 2009, the parishes of the East side Catholic Faith Formation Ministry met to discuss the formation of a Multiple Parish Religious Education Board, whose responsibilities would include formulating and recommending policies regarding the religious education programs for the participating parishes. The parishes involved are:
Saint Patrick, Saint Hedwig, Holy Rosary, Holy Trinity, Our Mother of Sorrows, St. John the Baptist, Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception, Saint Stephen of Hurgary/Iglesia De San Estaban, Saint Stanislaus
The pastors of the participating Catholic parishes and the two Directors of Religious Education shall be ex-officio members of the Religious Education Board. The pastors will choose one among their number to act as the pastor representative for the consolidated board. Each pastor will choose one representative from his parish to serve on the board.
A joint religious education effort brings multiple parishes together from the East side for our youth educational sessions.
