Program for 7th and 8th Graders

Dear 7th & 8th Grade Parents and Students:
On Wednesday, November 14th from 6:45—8:30 PM in the Parish Center, there will be a special presentation, given by some of our current high school peer ministers, pertaining to possible struggles faced in middle and senior high school and dealing with them more effectively. In a skit-based format, we will discuss issues such as substance abuse, sexuality, anxiety, bullying and self-worth. It will be an opportunity to explore how to incorporate Catholic values into their everyday lives. Parents, please make every effort to accompany your child to this event. Because of the stresses that face families, I hesitate to use the word mandatory to label a church event. This one is worth your time and effort. Many of the skits are without resolution which raises the opportunity to open a dialogue with your child about what you both have seen. Jeannie Carpenter, 7-10th grade Religious Education Coordinator at 860-658-5919. In case of inclement weather, please listen to WTIC-AM 1080, WFSB-TV Channel 3 or check www.wtic.com for a cancellation notice.
