For the 2020-2021 school year, Our Lady of Fatima Parish will again be offering a home-based program of religious instruction for grades K through 7, rather than the classroom model. In the home-based model, the parents are entrusted with fulfilling their obligation as being the first teachers of the faith to their children. This approach will require dedication to ensure that time is scheduled each week for religious instruction with your child, but also gives the parent great flexibility in scheduling this time.
Monthly Meeting Details
Following registration, there will be an orientation meeting for parents on Monday, August 24, 2020, in Fatima-Gallagher Hall at which they will receive the books and/ or other materials necessary to teach the Catholic faith to their child at an age appropriate level. Parents will be provided with a list of monthly meetings that they are expected to attend with their children to help them fulfill their responsibility in teaching the faith to their children. The children are expected to attend the monthly gatherings to assess their understanding of what they have been taught.Registration Details
Registration for Catechism is being accepted at the Parish Office. The deadline for registration is Friday, August 7, 2020. Please bring a photocopy of your child’s Baptism certificate at the time of registration, if you have not previously done so. There is a registration fee of $30 per child to help defray the cost of books and materials. Families are encouraged to register in the parish office or download the forms and send in all the information, fees and copies of certificates via mail.
If public health conditions in September do not permit in-person gatherings, we may begin with video-conferencing sessions at first.
