| BLEST
ARE WE SERIES
KINDERGARTEN
The textbooks used by St. Mary's are the Blest Are We
series. Parish, family, and catechist make up the "WE"
that constitutes the community of faith. In this series, the
whole parish is seen as the place where the life of faith
is nurtured. Please look at your child's manual and review
the activities that are conducted or performed in class.
Family
Based Religious Education
is an option for families who choose to teach their children
at home during the first through sixth grades. Books and materials
are provided through the Religious Education Office. Parents
will be asked to meet with the Religious Education Director
periodically throughout the year to discuss their child(ren)'s
progress.
