PSR Report for April 2024
We are in the last weeks of PSR classes, with our last classes at the end of April. In-class PSR will end on April 17 and April 21. The last classes, Wednesday, April 24 and Sunday, April 28, will be FAMILY EVENTS, where we will pray the Rosary in the Prayer Garden (weather permitting) and then process in the Parish Hall to crown Mary. We will then have refreshments and give the families time to gather and fellowship.
The Family PSR Mass and Family Pizza Party are set for Wednesday, May 1. Mass that evening will be at 6:30 pm (rather than the usual 6 pm Mass). Dinner will follow in the Parish Hall. We will also have some games for the kids.
The PSR Appreciation for catechists and PSR volunteers this year will be a luncheon rather than a dinner, on Sunday, May 5, at 12:30 pm.
The First Communion Workshop and Family Banquet was this past Sunday, April 7. It was wonderfully successful with 52 of the 54 children in attendance, very attentive and excited about being there, a multitude of their parents as volunteers, and a terrific crew (led by Tami Bowen & help from 1st grade parents & newly confirmed students) to heat, prepare, serve and clean-up after the banquet.
First Communion will be celebrated on Sunday, April 21, at 2 pm. There are 54 children in preparation to receive this Sacrament. If anyone would like to help with the reception after the Mass (cut & serve cake, make lemonade, help clean-up), please contact me.
We had our VBS promotion after Masses this past weekend, April 6 & 7, (handing out treat bags with VBS information) to encourage SEAS families/children to “save the date.” The theme this year is “SCUBA: Diving into Friendship with God.”
We will be setting up a decorative underwater looking display in the Gathering Area to solicit specific donations before the weekend of April 27 & 28 Masses. VBS dates are Tuesday, June 18-Saturday, June 22. It will end with the 4:30 pm Mass. Our Parish Picnic will follow. Our second planning meeting is Tuesday, April 23.
The area DREs have been meeting quarterly for the past six months. I am hosting the next meeting here at SEAS on Wednesday, April 24. It’s a great opportunity to collaborate ministry ideas.
Respectfully, Submitted, Denise Dumars, DRE
