OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION OFFICE
APRIL 16, 2020
Dear Friends,
I write this note to you as we are still suffering the results of the pandemic. This virus has affected the life and activities of so many people around the world and does not seem to be letting up.
You are all in prayers each and everyday. The activities at all churches are still closed until further notice. Right now we have no information from the Archdiocese of Newark of any plans to reopen churches, schools or religious education programs.
The celebrations of all Sacraments are cancelled until further notice. I know that those who were to receive Confirmation and First Communion this year are wondering what will happen. We really do not know!!!
In the Religious Education Program the student books are still in the classroom. If it is determined that we will not reopen Religious Ed. Classes we will make some provision for families to pick up the books for the students and complete their year of study at home.
I know this is a difficult time of everyone but we trust the Lord to assist us at this time .
Please pray for each other and for people around the world.
Blessings and stay safe,
Sister Regina
