I am beyond thrilled to be teaching Religion along with Mrs. Galiano, Mrs. Sargent and Mrs. Reifenheiser. For eighth grade, this will be an exciting year with graduation and receiving Confirmation, thus completing their journey of Sacraments of Initiation. I will be providing an authentic and comprehensive presentation that Christ is the center of our faith, school, Church and family life through Sacramental preparation. This will lay a foundation for students to have a lifelong relationship with Christ after they graduate from St. Benedict School.
Confirmation will be celebrated on Thursday, March 31st at 2:00 pm. The Most Reverend Bishop David M. O'Connell will be officiating.
A packet with all Confirmation details will be sent out this week. PLEASE REGISTER YOUR STUDENT ON THE BELOW LINK. ALL INFORMATION WILL GO DIRECTLY TO MARGARET RODDY, OUR PARISH SACRAMENT COORDINATOR.
I am also the Director of School Religious Education & Marriage Ministry, so I am very accessible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me either at:
mccahill@stbenedictnj.org or (732) 264-4712, ext. 27.
Peace and blessings,
Lori McCahill
