On Tuesday, for grades 1 through 5, the afternoon session will run from 4:30-5:45; the evening class will run from 6:15-7:30. On Wednesday, for grades 6 and 7, class period is 6:15-7:30.

'RAISING THE ROOF' COMMEMORATIVE BOOKLET:  As a gift to all of the generous donors who contributed to the Raising the Roof-Revitalize in Christ campaign for the reconstruction and remodeling of the church building, we have published a Commemorative Booklet that includes lots of photos, the story behind the renovations, and a list of donors and volunteers. Donors are asked to stop by the parish office to pick up their copy.  After the donor copies are distributed, a limited number of booklets will be available for those who wish to have a record the this tremendous project.
