RELIGIOUS EDUCATION --
COUPLES NEEDED
TO ASSIST IN TEACHING PRE-BAPTISM CLASSES
|
|
Deacon Tony is looking for couples to volunteer
to assist in teaching Pre-Baptism classes, normally held on the last
Sunday of each month. Each class lasts approximately one hour.
Depending upon the number of volunteers, each couple’s commitment may
only be a few times each year. During the class,
couples would share their personal perspective on the importance of
their faith and the importance of the St. Joseph’s faith community to
their family. If interested, or if you just want to know more
about the program, please contact Deacon Tony through the Parish
Office. Thank you in advance for your help.
