Faith Formation and Youth Ministry
Re: 2015-2016 Faith Formation Registration
Dear Parent or Guardian,
By your example of faith at home, and through your participation in the life of the Church, your child is being “enriched by a share in God’s own life.”1 Although
you might not think of yourself as a catechist, the Church upholds your role as irreplaceable in the formation of Christian values in your child. It is wonderful to
assist parents who nurture, strengthen and protect this divine life in their children.
Religious education is more than just memorizing prayers and facts about the faith. For most of us, we are introduced to the person of Jesus Christ by someone who
first loved Him. Through the process of learning prayers and Christian doctrine, we are provided opportunities to realize how much Jesus loves us, and truly fall in
love with Him. Religious education is not about getting to the next level or simply receiving the next sacrament. It is about a journey that leads us to Heaven.
Continuing in faith we are able to live with Jesus now, and prepare to be with him forever in heaven.
We want to encourage you to register as soon as possible. The importance of early registration can’t be overemphasized. It allows time for recruiting and
training of qualified volunteers, classroom placement, ordering textbooks, supplemental materials, and office & classroom supplies. It becomes very stressful for all
concerned when registrations are received late.
Please note the following instructions for registering:
1) FEES MUST BE PAID AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION. NO DEFERRED BILLING.*
2) AN INCREASED FEE WILL BE CHARGED FOR LATE REGISTRATIONS.

We are confident that the formation provided at Mary Queen is among the best offered in the archdiocese. We hope you feel the same way. It is a pleasure to assist
parents that value the importance of faith formation, and make it a priority in the lives of their children. Please pray for us, and be assured of our prayers for you.
