Dear Parents, We have just completed chapter twelve, //Built on the Apostles,// in our New Testament book. During our studies of the chapter the students focused deepening their understanding of the origin of the Church and the call of the apostles including exploring the origins, service, and past and present roles of the apostolic ministry. The chapter also focused on the reasons why Peter was chosen to lead the Church and why Paul became the “Apostle to the Gentiles.” This chapter concludes our work in our New Testament book; we will begin working from our Confirmation text after the meeting on Monday, January 24 at 7:00. In the interim the students will be researching saints as they prepare for Confirmation. The students will be responsible for creating a PowerPoint presentation on their chosen Confirmation saint as a part of their preparation for the sacrament. A majority of the project will be completed in class but it will require some work outside of school. The rubric will be available next week and posted to wiki page. We look forward to starting the journey toward Confirmation with your children. We hope to see you at the meeting on the January 24th where we will discuss the Confirmation process in greater detail. If you have any questions please contact Ms. Balch or Mrs. Nestor via email, FastDirect, or by phone.

Thank you, Ms. Balch and Mrs. Nestor
