A Letter from the Director

March 18, 2020

 
To All,

As you all know, out of an abundance of caution, in order to stem the spread of the coronavirus and following advice from government and our Bishop, catechetical sessions are suspended throughout the Diocese of Metuchen.  In addition, sacramental celebrations are postponed until after Easter.  We must continue to follow the guidance and leadership of Bishop Checchio going forward. The Bishop provides regular updates on the https://diometuchen.org/coronavirus response page. 

Check daily to stay updated.  You can also friend us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date!

Understanding how difficult this is, we want to support our families.  Families are juggling school work, and their child’s religious formation studies. Each parish has created its own plan and if you have been given a plan by your PCL please utilize it and any/all resources available to you.

To help with this, the Office of Discipleship Formation will be posting resources to help with catechizing children at home.  Please check the https://diometuchen.org/coronavirus daily for up to date information and new lists of resources. 

Some resources are specific to a particular text series.  The resources will indicate if the lesson corresponds with a specific publisher.  Our publishers have generously provided access to their websites so that all can continue with catechetical work online. 
 
Be assured of our prayers for you all

Blessings,

Carol Mascola
Director
Office of Discipleship Formation for Children
