To all OLA Religious Ed parents:

  As most of you know, Wanda Gawarecki, has “retired” as Director of Religious Ed at Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church, and I will be replacing her as of June 1^st.  I expect this year to be educational for me as well as your children; therefore, I ask for your patience and understanding during this learning process.

  Enclosed is a calendar of important 2013-2014 Religious Ed dates, including classes and parent meetings.  Last year’s classes proved challenging in many areas, such as classroom accommodations, due to the large number of students.  You will notice a MANDATORY parent and student meeting immediately after mass, Sunday, August 11^th in the parish hall to discuss with the parents and students some of the changes we will be implementing to alleviate those issues for the upcoming Religious Ed year.  Because the meeting is MANDATORY, your child(ren) will not be allowed to begin Religious Ed classes if at least ONE PARENT is not in attendance at the meeting.

  It is also my intention to have the parents of the students participate in Religious Ed activities such as Adoration, reciting of the Rosary and Stations of the Cross during Religious Ed class hours.  Our children learn by examples set by us as parents.  If we are not willing to devote a portion of our time to the Church, outside of mass, neither will our children.  Enclosed is a list of student families and their designated service times.  If you are not available to participate at your designated time, it is your responsibility to find a substitute, or contact me for options.

  Also, be reminded that 8^th and 9^th graders are required to complete 4 service hours in church activities, and 10^th graders are required to complete 8 service hours in church activities.  Catholic school students should remember to turn in their completed service hours to the Religious Ed office.  Forms are available in the OLA Religious Ed office.  There are many opportunities throughout the year for the students to earn the required service hours.

  Thank you for your time.  Please do not hesitate to contact me either by cell 225.278.6426, or email manddplumbing@bellsouth.net if you have any questions, suggestions or concerns.  I look forward to the new adventures!

In Christ,

Denise Payne
