CCD Registration for both our parishes will begin August 15. CCD registration forms will be available in the narthex of both our churches as well as online at www.sacredheartdupont.com. After filling out the form for each child you may deposit it in the weekend collection basket or mail it to the parish office. Please include the required fee and a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate (if they are a new student and were not baptized in our church). CCD begins on Sunday, Sept. 27 from 9:15-10:15 a.m. All school-aged children (both public and homeschoolers) who do not attend Catholic schools in grades 1 to 8 are required to attend CCD classes. A few of our Catholic school students have attended our classes and are most welcome! Contact DRE Mrs. Nancy Beccaloni (SH) with questions at sacredheartccd@comcast.net or Deborah Yuschovitz (SM) at 457-1284.
Have you ever thought that God might be calling you to serve Him
as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion? If so, perhaps
you may want to answer that call at this time in your parish. What
are the basic requirements for an Extraordinary Minister of Holy
Communion? The person must be a regularly practicing Catholic
21 years of age or older. If married, the person must be in a
sacramentally valid union. The person must remain in a state of
grace by regularly celebrating the sacrament of Confession. The
person must regularly attend Mass at our parish, not just when they
are scheduled to serve. The person must be physically able to
execute this ministry by easily entering and exiting our sanctuary
and being able to consume a regular wheat host and drink wine.
Speak to Fr. Petro if you feel called to serve the Lord in this way.
