Dear 2nd Grade Parents,

Second grade is such a milestone year for your children!  This year your children will receive both the Sacrament of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.  

Student lessons consist of two essential parts.  First, the students will be taught and prepared for these sacraments on an ongoing basis throughout the year by Mrs. Van Helvoirt within the day-to-day classroom setting.  Second, students in all Green Bay Diocese Catholic Schools also participate in their local parish lessons/activities.

Therefore, please watch for communications pertaining to parish activities from Mrs. Anne Stemper, Parish Discipleship Formation Coordinator. Please contact her at stclarefaith@stclareagw.org if you have any questions or conflicts.

Mrs. Stemper shared the following dates with us.  We will leave this information posted on this blog for your reference. 

Blessings,
Mrs. DeGroot, Mrs. Bartosch, and Mrs. Van Helvoirt
