Parish Religious Education Program

All of our OLA PREP classes got off to a good start. We are grateful for all of our Catechetical volunteers who are so vital to our Religious Education Program. Thank you, Fr. Carey for blessing our classrooms and supporting us in every way! A big Thank You to our Level 1 parents for attending our Parents Session on Sept. 19th. Parents are critical to the success of the religious education of each child as models and guides!

Presentation: What Can We Do?
The Role of Laity in a Time of Crisis
As the Church undergoes this period of profound crisis, many of us feel helpless as we watch a drama unfold that we can do nothing about. But the truth is that we are not powerless. The history of the Church tells us that lay people have a role to play in the Church’s times of turmoil. Join us for an evening of reflection on the mission of the laity in times of ecclesial crisis and learn what you can do to cooperate with Christ’s action to purify and heal His Church. Speaker: Meghan Cokeley, AoP Dir. Of Office for New Evangelization.

All scheduled for 7 PM with Dates below:
Tues., 9/17 at St. Stanislaus, Lansdale
