To Our Valued 40-week Club Members
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, as related to the size of social gatherings and social distancing requirements, we will not be able to have our annual 40 Week Club dinner this year.
So that more members will have chance to win a cash prize, in addition to the prizes that were planned and advertised ahead of time, we will be offering an additional ten prizes totaling an additional $1,000.00.
This year’s drawings will take place and be live-streamed on Sunday, October 25th after the 11:30 AM Mass.
Thank you to all our members for your ongoing loyal support of this annual parish fundraiser which ultimately provides necessary funding for the operation of the St. Robert Bellarmine Food Pantry.
In the midst of the ongoing public health crisis, even with an overall reduction in monetary donations to our food pantry, in accordance with our means and ability, our outreach program continues to assist individuals and families who turn to us in their time of need.
Having said all of that, it is my sincere hope and prayer, while recognizing the various sacrifices that people have been asked to make over the past number of months, that we can count on all the members of our parish’s 40 week club, to support the St. Robert Bellarmine Food Pantry in an extraordinary way this year by joining me and the volunteer coordinators (i.e., Ann, Judy and Pat) in forgoing the dinner and associated costs so that all remaining proceeds from this year’s 40 week club can be used to ensure that we as a parish community will continue to be able to put the gospel message into action when individuals and families come to us seeking assistance.
We hope you will consider supporting this worthy cause next year and that things will have improved enough to allow us to gather in October 2021 for our annual dinner.
Thanks in advance for your anticipated understanding and cooperation.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me at the rectory.
Sincerely,
Fr. Richard
Faith Formation Students in Grades 1 - 9
Please select the FAITH tab above, and proceed to
Faith Formation RegistrationWelcome to our 2020-2021 Faith Formation Program. Due to the COVID-19 Crisis, at this point, we can say that Faith Formation Classes will not be conducted in the way in which they have been handled in the past. Given space limitations and ventilation inadequacies in the lower church, meeting in person, as separate groups, is not possible for all students at this time.
I am excited to begin this new journey involving the Domestic Church this year in a new Gospel based program. What is the domestic church? In a 1995 homily, St. John Paul II shared, “Catholic parents must learn to form their family as a domestic church, a church in the home as it were, where God is honored, his law is respected, prayer is a normal event, virtue is transmitted by word and example, and everyone shares the hopes, the problems and sufferings of everyone else.” Therefore, “ The family is the domestic church. Catechism of the Catholic Church #1656”
Our program will focus on the weekend Mass and provide “at-home” and online resources for families, with the Pflaum Gospel weeklies for grades 1,3,4,5,6,7 and 8. These grades will meet virtually once a month.
Registration forms will be emailed out to families in the program, for there must be an updated registration submitted every year. The registration form will also be available on the parish web page. https://strobertsparish.org
The children preparing for First Communion will be using: https://dynamiccatholic.com/blessed Weekly virtual meetings using the books and videos.
ConfirmationPreparation:
Weekly virtual meetings using a program covering what is required pursuant to the Diocesan Guidelines for Catechesis as well as the Gospel Weeklies.
Please submit the registration by September 30, 2020 with the required fee of $25.00. This fee is to cover the cost of the materials, weeklies, assessments and administration of the program
Peace, Dina Veiga
