Sacred Heart of Jesus Church

The parish religious education program (CCD) is off to a good
start. If you have not registered your child for CCD, you may still
do so. Forms are available in the narthex of our churches or the
parish offices during office hours. All children enrolled in public
and home schools from First through Eighth Grades are required to
attend CCD.
Students currently enrolled in a Catholic school who are planning
to receive First Holy Communion or Confirmation this year are
required to complete a Religious Formation (CCD) registration
form. Even though these students receive daily religious education
at school, this separate parish registration ensures they are properly
included in all parish sacramental records and preparation events.
Copies of the form can be picked up in the Narthex of both churches,
downloaded from the Parish websites, or requested by calling the
Parish office.
A Thanksgiving Food Drive for the local poor is being sponsored
by our CCD students in grades 4 & 5 in both parishes. All CCD
students are invited to bring non-perishable food items to class
through Sunday, Nov. 15. Parishioners are also invited to bring non
perishable food to church and place it in the bin which will be in the
narthex of both our churches. This drive will support the Avoca Food
Pantry at Bethel United Methodist Church.
