ST. FRANCIS PARISHIONERS in grades 1-8 who attend area Catholic schools are not required to attend religious education classes here at St. Francis parish. The religion classes they receive at their respective Catholic schools are sufficient. St. Francis parish children who want to make their First Confession and First Communion here at St. Francis are encouraged to make that choice. Children who choose to make their First Confession and First Communion here at St. Francis do not have to attend the Tuesday CCD classes but these students must register using the enclosed form so that the parish will have accurate information and an accurate count of who will be receiving the sacraments. These children should also attend Sunday Mass regularly and especially the children’s Mass on the last Sunday of each month. There is no registration fee or activity fee for these students.
FEE: $35 for one student; $55 for a family; plus $10 activity fee for First Communion & $20 retreat fee for Confirmation. Since Catholic High School tuitions are so costly, all fees, including retreat, are waived for 9th and 10th grade students who attend Catholic High Schools.
BE A HOME MISSIONARY!
