Religious Education Administrator
(from the August 14th bulletin...)
Dear Parishioners,
Welcome to August! Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday we celebrated Memorial Day and here we are almost done with the summer.
Because of the way the calendar falls this year, we are again faced with one of those strange “is it, or is it not a holyday” situations.
August 15 is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Normally I would announce that it is a Holyday of Obligation. However, this year, because it falls on a Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is lifted. If you come to Mass tomorrow, we will certainly celebrate the feast day, but, this year, there is no sin incurred if you do not come. Anytime a holyday falls on a Saturday or a Monday, the obligation is removed.
Because of this, we will celebrate only our regularly scheduled Masses: 7 and 8 am and the normal Monday 7pm Mass. There will be no extra liturgies added tomorrow. If you have any questions, please ask.
May I also draw your attention to the information about CCD registration, which is now beginning. Please take a moment and register your children. This year, we will charge a late fee for anyone who misses the scheduled deadlines.
I remind all those parents whose children celebrated 1st Communion last year that the policy of the Archdiocese of Newark, and of this parish, is that ongoing Religious Education is required to celebrate Confirmation. You cannot stop after 2nd grade and then simply return in 8th just to be Confirmed. All the grades in between are mandatory. If you are unsure about any of this, please see either myself or Ms. Pietz at your earliest convenience.
Fr. Armand
