Holy Rosary Catholic Church Office of Evangelization and Catechesis Faith Formation 2018-2019 1416 George Street, Rosenberg. TX 77471 August, 8, 2018 Welcome back after a restful summer with your families; we are sure the children and teens enjoyed the break. This summer, Holy Rosary welcomed our new pastor, Fr. Orrin Halepeska and he brings with him an energy that renews the vision of our office. We begin this school year with an office name change from the CCE Office to the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis. We will be coordinating Faith Formation classes in lieu of offering CCE classes. This change is to help bring our parish in alignment with the Archdiocesan offices and the vision of Pope Francis and the Catholic Church to preach the Gospel message always. Safety is a top concern at Holy Rosary; therefore, we are requiring all Faith Formation parents to take safe environment training through the Virtus program. This program is the way we work to keep all children and vulnerable people safe from predators by ensuring that all people who have access to our children or youth are trained and have completed a background check. Please help keep all our children safe by taking the training. More information will be available at the Parent Orientation & Meet the Catechist Night on September 19th during your child s class time. Another way we will be working to keep everyone safe is by adhering to a strict traffic flow. All Faith Formation classes are moving from the gym and middle school to the Parish Hall and elementary school. This move will provide the little children with age-appropriate classrooms and alleviate scheduling conflicts of the past. As we begin classes this year, please follow the traffic flow instructions for the safety of everyone. If you have any questions, please feel free to give one of us a call or schedule an appointment. We are here to serve you the best we are able. Joyfully In Christ, Leann Jerkins & Tina Hollopeter Office of Evangelization and Catechesis 281-342-3089 x. 141 or 106
