Family Catechetics is an ongoing Faith formation program for families that helps form students into
prayerful, committed Christians who give witness to the Faith of the Church. With their families, students learn about many areas of their Faith. Sacramental formation is included throughout the journey for those who have not yet received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Our program runs from Kindergarten to Year 6, in addition to the two years of preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Contact a ngie.dolomount@gmail.com or 709-631-4543 (text/call) with any questions.
BISHOP’S UPDATE FOR THE PARISHES:
Among the five conversations that will begin this Fall, the Diocesan Parish Renewal Committee will lead the conversation on possible changes to the structures and operations of our diocese, parishes and Parish Pastoral Councils that will enhance conversations and participation within each parish. By trying to move away “from behind closed doors”, where many conversations and decisions are presently made, this ongoing conversation between bishop, priests and laity, and within each parish, acknowledges the gift, voice and activity of the Holy Spirit at work in each and every person and the need for collaboration and co-responsibility in building a vibrant Christian community. Conversations will also focus on the renewal of the parish as a place of hospitality, healing and mercy, a place of discernment and formation and a place to encounter Christ as a pilgrim people.
YOUTH GROUP / FAMILY AND LIFE:
We are looking for volunteers to support our Youth Group and Family and Life ministries. Many children and youth are eager to participate, but we currently do not have enough adult volunteers to sustain these activities while maintaining the required adult-to-child/youth ratios. Please consider volunteering for these fun and life-giving ministries! With a larger volunteer pool, responsibilities and time commitments can be shared among more people. To volunteer, please contact c bcatholicyouth@gmail.com, the parish ofice, or one of our current volunteers. Volunteers must be willing to meet the parish’s Responsible Ministry Requirements. Thank you.
IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY SCHOOL:
Is a privately funded school dedicated to educational excellence in a Christian environment. It is operated independently of the Diocese of Corner Brook and Labrador by the Catholic School Foundation for Corner Brook inc. For information about the school and its mission go online at w ww.ihmsc
