What if we didn’t participate in FIRE classes last year? Not a problem! We are thrilled to welcome back every single child and family who is ready to learn about our faith. Last year was weird for everyone. We understand!

When will classes start? The first day of FIRE class for grades K-5 is set for Sunday, September 18, 2022. Pre-K will meet for the first time the following week, October 3. Stay tuned for info on when Wednesday evening classes will begin.
Who is in charge? God is in charge! Father Ted and Deacon Joe are serving as the Directors of Religious Ed this year, so all questions should be directed to them. 

Our faith-filled catechists have been meeting all summer to plan for a dynamic FIRE year. We will stay in touch with updates. Meanwhile, please share this message with anyone you know that wants to register their child for FIRE.
God bless us all!!!
