9.26.22

If you missed the parent meeting for ABVM held on Sunday 9/18, please stop by the DRE office to check to see if your son/daughter is on the list for 22-23 preparation and to pick up a commitment form.  Classes for student and parent begin 10/08.  Historically, we offered two sessions, morning and afternoon.  This year, the dates have been set but, only ONE session will be offered, 9am-11am for ABVM parishioners.

Review page 10 from the Parent Handbook regarding First Reconciliation and First Communion Expectations.

Si no asistió a la Reunión de Padres el 12 de Septiembre por favor pase por la oficina de la DRE , para verificar si su hijo (a) está en la lista de 22-23 para preparacion y para recoger una forma de Compromiso.
