Our Christian Formation Orientations are always a little bit like family life, which is why I love them so much. There’s noisy excitement in the air, parents herding children, messy faces and sticky fingers from the donuts and overall a little bit of chaos. But after an opening prayer, we’re ready to get to work. Thanks to all the families who were part of this first session, your commitment to forming your children in the Catholic faith spoke volumes by just showing up. Now we need to really “keep the faith” and continue the journey that faith is, by showing up ‘week in and week out’ for Mass and for class. It will make a difference in your family’s life and in the life of St. Luke Parish. Commitment and consistency are essential. With our first class this Sunday we have support in place to St. Luke Blood Drive (in the Narthex) make sure everything runs smoothly. The Warchol family: Please make your appointment at bit.ly/saintlukesept2019 Greg, Kathy and Megan have been irreplaceable in helping Or contact Bill at 262-844-0778 or to open doors, pick up attendance and monitor the overall [email protected] activity during classes.
