Faith First Level II

Level Two Dates 2011-2012

Church Tours: During the month of November every Level 2 Class will have a Church Tour.  We will try to schedule the tours on the day that your child attends class but will not always be able to schedule it the same time as your child’s class.  Your child’s Catechist will inform you of the scheduled day and time.  Catechists will not get the date until their next Catechist meeting.

Level 2 Gathering: One Level 2 Parent and child gathering is scheduled this year.  You and your child are expected to attend this gathering.  It will be held on Tuesday at 4:30 PM OR 6:00 PM.

Tuesday, March 6th

Parent Meeting:  All parents are expected to attend one of the two parent meetings on Reconciliation.  Father Jim will be speaking to the parents about the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  Please read your pamphlet on Reconciliation before this meeting.  The meetings will be held in the Church Auditorium on Thursday, January 5, 2012 at either 9:30 AM or 7:30 PM.  You will get your child’s Eucharist book at this meeting.  You only need to attend one of the meetings.

Reconciliation SERVICES:  There are two dates for Reconciliation and two times on each day, either 11:00AM or 1:30PM.  Your child’s class will be assigned a specific day and time at a later date.  For now please put both dates on your calendar to save them.  Saturday, January 14th, 2012 and Saturday, January 21st, 2012.

Enrollment Mass:  On the weekend of March 17th and 18th, 2012 all Level 2 students will be introduced to the parish as those preparing for First Communion.  There will be a simple blessing prayer activity to take place between the child and his or her parents.  This will take place at all masses and you may choose to come to any of the masses on Saturday or Sunday.  The children will be receiving Good Shepherd Medals at these masses.

Parent Meeting on Eucharist:  All parents are expected to be at one of these meetings as well. Father Jim will speak about the Sacrament of Eucharist.  The meetings will take place on Thursday, March 8, 2012 at either 9:30 AM or 7:30 PM.  Kits to make the banners that are hung on your pew at the Communion Mass will be sold at this meeting.  You only need to attend one of the meetings.

Communion Party:  We will have one big party for all Communion children on Friday evening, June 1, 2012.  An invitation will be given at the Communion rehearsal, but put the date on your calendar.  Don’t miss this wonderful evening.  The children always have a great time.
