Religious Education

While we believe the faith formation of our youth is vital, we also believe in protecting our children, our teachers, our parish families, and our community.

NEW -- Family eNewletter -- Jan/Feb 2021

Each week check out the Sunday Connection before or after mass to help your student(s) put this week's readings into context.

This Week’s Family Connection (Jan. 17)

Gospel Reading —John 1:35–42
What’s happening? John the Baptist recognizes Jesus as the Lamb of God, and Jesus receives his first followers. 

In today’s Gospel we learn about one of at least two family relations that appear among Jesus’ first disciples. Andrew is the brother of Simon, whom Jesus renames Peter. In next week’s Gospel, we will learn about the brothers James and John, the sons of Zebedee. We know from the letters of Paul and other witnesses to the early Church that it was a common occurrence for an entire household to be baptized together. From the very beginning of the Church, families helped one another to know and follow Jesus. We hope and pray that this continues to be true in our family life. 

Before your family gathers, look around your house and gather some items that your family might have that remind you of your faith. Perhaps you have a cross or crucifix displayed in your home, a statue of Mary, or statues or other art depicting saints, maybe you have a rosary or picture from your baptism or First Communion.  

In today’s Gospel we learn about how Andrew led his brother, Simon, to Jesus. Read today’s Gospel, John 1:35-42. 

In our family life, we also help to lead one another to Jesus. Talk together about the items that you gath-ered, discussing what these items mean to you and how you might use them during the day for prayer. Pray that your family will continue to help one another grow in our faith in Jesus. Pray together the Glory Be (Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.)

NEW -- Each year, the Diocese of Scranton requires parish Religious Education programs to complete a Safe Environment lesson with all students. During our virtual program, this lesson has been modified for parents to complete at home with their child(ren). You know your children best and how to discuss these very important, but sensitive, matters. This lesson is a guideline for families, but mostly we want you to have this conversation in the most appropriate way for your family and your children. Please review this lesson as a family and then let me know it's been completed either by signing the form and emailing it to me or just sending an "it's done" email to religioused@saint-eulalia.com. Thank you -- Alysia Clancy
