RE Director: Lisa Benzer (716) 6527242   [email protected]  LifeTeen/EDGE: Dominic Buttino [email protected]   FFF/Confirmation: Julie Cappello [email protected] RE Office Manager: Mary Bushway [email protected]   Dear Religious Ed Families,  Well, we survived this year of the pandemic as best we could; and we have so many of you to thank for this!! We would like  to begin by thanking our amazing staff and team of catechists, who pulled together to create a cohesive and safe environment  for our children to learn about our precious Catholic faith, by using alternative means of teaching. This experience enabled  us to become more adaptive as our catechists became more  proficient over zoom, and tailored their classrooms to appeal to both the students on zoom and those in the classroom.   As in years past, our teachers devote much time to creating  inspirational and ageappropriate lessons that engage the hearts and minds of their students; while also teaching the faith with profound love and dedication! You make it look so easy, and  yet there is much preparationinvolved.  We truly thank you for all that you do!!  We would also like to thank our parents for bearing with us, as we respondedto the constant challenges that were met with this year's pandemic. We made it through and are better off for it!  May God continue to bless you this summer! We look forward  to seeing everyone back at St. Vincent's in the fall.  Happy Summer!  Lisa Benzer, DRE

From the Parish Secretary…  I have found a couple of resources this year  that have really helped my faith life, and  I would like to share them with you.   Every morning I look forward to hearing the  Fr. Mike Schmitz podcast (he’s a priest of the Diocese of Duluth & a popular Catholic speaker and author), featuring Jeff Cavins’ The Bible in a Year. You can download it  for free from ascensionpress.com (they’re a multimedia  Catholic publisher). You get a new podcast every day, about 20 minutes or so, and he reads a reading from the  Old Testament, the Psalms, and the New Testament. They’ve put the readings together to tell the story of our faith, and after reading them he explains  it’s so helpful!  I hope you enjoy it too!  What have you found to be helpful to your faith? If I can share it, please email me at [email protected]. Paul A. Pre-Planned Funeral Arrangements Available 668-5666 4680 CLINTON ST. BLOSSOM CHAPELS, INC. W. SENECA (1/2 MILE W. OF TRANSIT)
