Spring 2020

Dear Parents,
 
It has been a very difficult and upsetting few months for all of us.  We have all been affected by this mysterious and often deadly enemy --- the virus.  However, as people of faith and hope, we must begin to plan for September and for the religious education of our children.  We pray that we will be able to begin our usual program of religious education in September.   We ask you to register for the new school year.
 
Some important information about our program here at St. Frances:

5. Registration forms are being sent by e-mail to you; registration forms will be available in the church lobby on the ushers’ tables; registration forms will be available in the rectory office.
5. NEW STUDENTS must complete both SECTIONS 1 AND 2 and must provide certificates of Baptism and/or Communion.  Returning students have these certificates on file in our religious education office.
5. We ask that all REGISTRATIONS be completed and returned by Friday, August 14 so that we can prepare class lists, order books and materials, and prepare our teachers for their classes.
5. The fee for the religious education program remains the same as last year --- $125 for one child and $150 for a family.  The fee includes your child’s textbook and other materials for class.
6. Completed REGISTRATIONS with the fee should be given to Mrs. Christi in church or brought to the rectory.  If you wish, you may mail the REGISTRATION AND FEE to the rectory (190 Hollywood Avenue, Bronx, New York, 10465, att: Mrs. Christi) but, please, if mailing, enclose a check not cash.
5. REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, AUGUST 14.

Together with you, parents, the first and most important teachers of the faith, we can move ahead with the religious education of our children and bring them closer to the Lord Jesus.
 
Sincerely,
Monsignor John Graham, Pastor
Mrs. Christi Costa, Coordinator
