- Letter to Parents and Guardians
  
  Dear Parents and Guardians,
  
  Thank you for registering your child or children for the 2023-2024 Saint Joseph Religious Education Program! I ask that you please review both the Sacramental Calendar and the Religious Education Schedules for your child or children’s respective grade. As always, the program will begin the week following Labor Day and continue through the first week of May.
  
  This year the second through eighth grade classes will continue to include instruction from the clergy that will take place in the church. Additionally, the sixth grade students will again work through the “ALPHA Youth” Program with the goal of developing a more personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. The seventh and eighth grade students will also continue to use the “CHOSEN” Program from Ascension Press as they prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation.
  
  Although Jesus comes to us as simple bread and wine, the Eucharist is Christ Himself and the “source and summit” of the Christian life. To be prepared to fully receive the grace of this Sacrament, our souls must be free from mortal sin. Therefore, in addition to using quality resources and a First Holy Communion Retreat to prepare them for this sacrament, the students are also preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is essential that parents and guardians understand this sacrament and are included in the preparation as well. Specifically, this year at least one parent or legal guardian for First Holy Communion Year I (first grade) and First Holy Communion Year II (second grade) is required to attend a workshop to explore the beauty of Christ’s mercy in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The series Forgiven: The Transforming Power of Confession will be viewed and discussed during these workshops. In addition to offering a three session series during specified Religious Education classes, our Family Ministries Coordinator, Becky Davis, will also provide single day workshops as well. It is mandatory for a parent or legal guardian whose child will be receiving their First Holy Communion here at Saint Joseph Parish (both REP and SJS) to attend one of these options. Please see the “2023 – 2024 Saint Joseph Parish Religious Education Calendar” below for further details.
  
  All of our catechists are working diligently in order to provide your child or children with the best Catholic religious education that they can; however, as we all know, the first (and best) catechists are all of you as their parents and guardians. This year, I personally look forward to working with both you and your children as we work together to build disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ through our shared Catholic Faith. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly. You may either email, call, or text me – whichever option is most convenient for you. Thank you very much, and may God bless both you and your families.
  
  Sincerely,
  Mark A. Rebuck

  CATHOLIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM PARENT(S) MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
  As the parent(s) of a student in a Catholic Religious Education Program, I understand and affirm the following:
  
  The primary purpose of a Catholic Religious Education is to form students in the values of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
  
  Catholic Religious Education Programs are distinctive religious education establishments operated as programs of the Catholic Church; they are administered and supported by the sponsoring parish, and the diocese.
  
  Catholic Religious Education Programs are a collaborative faith effort between the Religious Education Program, the parents, and the students.
  
  While academic excellence and involvement in other extracurricular activities (i.e., sports, clubs, etc.) are important, committing to the schedule of the Religious Education Program is the fundamental priority.
  
  The Religious Education Program and its Coordinator have the responsibility to ensure that Catholic values and moral integrity permeate every facet of the program’s life and activities.
  
  In all questions involving faith, morals, faith teaching, and Church law, the final determination rests with the diocesan bishop. As a parent/guardian desiring to enroll my child in a Catholic Religious Education Program, I accept this memorandum of understanding. I pledge support for the Catholic identity and mission of this program, and by enrolling my child I commit myself to uphold all the principles and policies that govern a Catholic Religious Education Program.
  
  Saint Joseph Religious Education Attendance Policy
  (First Through Eighth Grade)
  
  Students will now be required to attend at least 80 percent of ALL Religious Education classes. This means that for the 2023-2024 Religious Education year, students will be allowed a total of FIVE (5) “ABSENCES” without penalty, and therefore no verification (such as a doctor’s note) is needed.
  
  Students who are more than 15 minutes late, or leave more than 15 minutes early will be marked as “LATE.” Three occurrences of being “LATE” will equal ONE “ABSENCE.”
  
  If a student exceeds the total number of allowable “ABSENCES”, they will have to repeat that grade level.
  
  ONLY IN GENUINE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES (such as a serious illness or a death in the immediate family) will exceptions be made to this attendance policy. ANY exceptions that are made will be at the discretion of both the Pastor and the Coordinator of Religious Education.
  
  I have read the above policies of the Saint Joseph Religious Education Program. I understand the terms of these policies and agree to abide by them. I acknowledge that failure to comply with these policies could lead to corrective action up to and including dismissal from the program.
  I Agree Please select this field.

  (First Through Eighth Grade)
  
  Students will now be required to attend at least 80 percent of ALL Religious Education classes. This means that for the 2023-2024 Religious Education year, students will be allowed a total of FIVE (5) “ABSENCES” without penalty, and therefore no verification (such as a doctor’s note) is needed.
  
  Students who are more than 15 minutes late, or leave more than 15 minutes early will be marked as “LATE.” Three occurrences of being “LATE” will equal ONE “ABSENCE.”
  
  If a student exceeds the total number of allowable “ABSENCES”, they will have to repeat that grade level.
  
  ONLY IN GENUINE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES (such as a serious illness or a death in the immediate family) will exceptions be made to this attendance policy. ANY exceptions that are made will be at the discretion of both the Pastor and the Coordinator of Religious Education.
  
  I have read the above policies of the Saint Joseph Religious Education Program. I understand the terms of these policies and agree to abide by them. I acknowledge that failure to comply with these policies could lead to corrective action up to and including dismissal from the program.

  CATHOLIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM PARENT(S) MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
  As the parent(s) of a student in a Catholic Religious Education Program, I understand and affirm the following:
  
  The primary purpose of a Catholic Religious Education is to form students in the values of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Catholic Church.
  
  Catholic Religious Education Programs are distinctive religious education establishments operated as programs of the Catholic Church; they are administered and supported by the sponsoring parish, and the diocese.
  
  Catholic Religious Education Programs are a collaborative faith effort between the Religious Education Program, the parents, and the students.
  
  While academic excellence and involvement in other extracurricular activities (i.e., sports, clubs, etc.) are important, committing to the schedule of the Religious Education Program is the fundamental priority.
  
  The Religious Education Program and its Coordinator have the responsibility to ensure that Catholic values and moral integrity permeate every facet of the program’s life and activities.
  
  In all questions involving faith, morals, faith teaching, and Church law, the final determination rests with the diocesan bishop. As a parent/guardian desiring to enroll my child in a Catholic Religious Education Program, I accept this memorandum of understanding. I pledge support for the Catholic identity and mission of this program, and by enrolling my child I commit myself to uphold all the principles and policies that govern a Catholic Religious Education Program.
