Dear Parents,
The Mass by its very nature, is a profoundly personal and living experience. When Catholics enter a church for Mass, they have a immediate personal contact with other believers and the priest-celebrant even if they don't know any of them. Most important of all, a person's participation at Mass culminates with the personal reception of Holy Communion, an act that can never occur through even the most sophisticated technology. Part of our Religious Education Program is that attending in-person Mass is required. Every child will be required to turn in Mass Reflection each week.
The goal of a Mass Reflection is to help engage your family with what is going on during the Mass through making faith connections to our daily lives. After discussing your family's experience, please answer these questions and turn in, as per the requirements of our programs.
God Bless,
Debbie Schurko, Parish Catechetical Leader
