NEWS:
Dear Parents
I hope you had a
good summer and all
is well! Faith
Formation is soon to
start. Since we have
decided to combine
all of our Faith
Formation programs
into one program, we
had to change dates
and times of our
Faith Formation
classes. In
addition, Mary Jo
Kritz is no longer
with us. She has
taken a job in the
Boston Archdiocese.
We wish her all the
best and are
grateful for all she
has done. She will
be greatly missed by
all. With great joy
we welcome Lucille
Roux who will be
coordinating our
Faith Formation
programs this year.
A few changes have
taken place:
Our Lady
of Jasna Gora and
Our Lady of the
Rosary 7th
and 8th
combined and 9th
grade students will
meet at Our Lady of
Jasna Gora following
the 5:30 Mass:
6:30-7:30 p.m. in
the basement of the
church.
Our Lady
of Jasna Gora and
Our Lady of the
Rosary Pre-K through
6th grade
classes will meet at
Our Lady of the
Rosary from 4 to
5 p.m. The
configuration of
classes will be as
follows: PK-1 grades
combined, 2nd
grade - First
Communion, 3rd
4th
