TEACHER’S PRAYER Lord, I know I have a responsibility to teach children about you. Please help me every step of the way. I pray that I can answer all questions posed to me by the students. I ask you to guide me to instill in the young people a love of God, respect for themselves and others, and a continuing exercise of replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, thus changing from bad to good all their thoughts and deeds. Amen. Teachers for this year: 1st Grade – Cindy Petucci 2nd Grade – Cathy Vorndran 3rd & 4th Grades – Dottie Schirf 5th & 6th Grades – Gina DeRubeis 7th & 8th Grades – Sara Hunter 9th & 10th Grades – Sherry Hancock 11th Grade – Cathy Tellish Substitute Teacher – Suzanne Barry ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STUDENT’S PRAYER Lord, I know I have a lot to learn about you and about how to live my life. I come to you with my concerns. When I feel lonely because no one seems to care; when I get angry because life seems so unfair; when I feel closed in by pressures to succeed, accomplish, and excel; when I get confused about what is right and when I am afraid, take my hand and walk with me. Amen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registration Forms for the 2021-22 school year are available on the tables and altar rail and at Saint Mark’s and Holy Rosary Rectories. If there is a problem returning the forms this week, bring the forms to the first class which will be Sunday, September 12; the time is 9:15 am – 10:40 am at Saint Mark’s. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some children have been using their church envelopes this past year – thank you for picking up your envelopes and using them. The ones not picked up were distributed at the Religious Education Classes. They will be for the months of September, October, November and December. It is important to get into the habit of using envelopes to help support your parish. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ THANK YOU to Max Sankey and mother, Melissa, for their much-appreciated work in cleaning our classrooms as we prepare for another year of classes for our Religious Education Program. God Bless You both for a job well done! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
