CALENDAR CHANGES TO LIMIT POSSIBLE SPREAD OF DISEASE
*as of March 10 6:52PM

As I am sure you are aware the Bishop has released some new directives to pastors in light of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Fairfield County asking us to consider reducing unnecessary non-liturgical gatherings.

In response to the Bishop's recommendations and to err on the side of being over-cautious, Father Suarez and Valerie Byrnes have made the following changes to our Faith Formation Calendar for the weeks ahead.

Sunday March 15: 8th grade Confirmation will meet as planned.

6th & 7th grade classes will be ONLINE ONLY. You will hear more details from your catechist via Flocknote.

Monday March 16th Confirmation final exam and gown pick up has been moved to the Sunday night class time. So there will be no meeting on Monday.

March 21 - Confirmation at St. Augustine Cathedral is scheduled to continue as planned. (for now)

SUNDAY March 29 Family Formation - Grades 1- 5 will not meet. The parent class will be offered online. We are looking into ways to distribute home packets and will let you know as soon as we have figured this out.

SUNDAY March 29 Grades 6 & 7 - same as 3/15 ONLINE ONLY

First Holy Communion - March 22 class is canceled. Parents will do the session at home. Also at this time we will presume First Communion will be in the hand. No decision has been made as of yet regarding the rehearsals and retreat in April as it is too early to know what the situation will warrant.

Registration for 2019-2020 has ended.
Admittance to this calendar year is now at the discretion of the director.
Please email Valerie at DRE@holyspiritstamford.org if you have any special needs or concerns.
