PARENT OUTREACH AND SUPPORT
Parents can best support their child in Religious Education by:
*attending Mass each week with your child
*getting children to class regularly and on time
*taking an interest in what is happening in the Religious Education classroom
*practice and live the faith your child is learning
St. Ann's Religious Education Programs encourage parent support and volunteerism for a number of reasons:
1) To develop a positive relationship between the program and the home;
2) To provide assistance with special events, clerical work, and as instructional aides;
3) To develop a greater appreciation for the parish as a partnership with parents and catechists;
4) To provide opportunities for contributing skills and talents;
5) To increase communication.
