Religious Education Has Begun

you may contact the RE Office for further information.

FAMILY FAITH FORMATION
Registration forms have been mailed to Religious Ed families. Please
complete and mail or email them back to the Religious
Ed Office as soon as you are able.
We are eager to begin a new chapter of Family
Catechesis and look forward to supporting our
children and parents with prayer, learning, and
fun activities. It is our hope that this new venture
will strengthen our domestic churches and
thereby fortify our larger community of faith here
at Saint George.
If you have questions, feel free
to CALL the Religious Ed Office at (708) 532-
8211 Monday through Thursday, between 8:00
AM and 1:00 PM or EMAIL us at
religioused@stgeorge60477.org.
We encourage all of our families to continue to
join our larger community in prayer at Mass
(either online or in person). Links to sign up for
Mass are found on the Saint George website:
www.stgeorge60477.org. And don’t forget that
new helpers are always welcome to assist with
the process of keeping our worship safe and
healthy for all! To find out more, please call the
Parish Office
at (708) 532-2243.
May you be blessed with health and peace!
in their role as primary catechists of their children,
we are adopting a new motto
for our family faith formation program.
DISCIPLES IN MISSION
Matthew 28:19-20 "Go, therefore, and make disciples
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded
you and behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
This takes into account our individual and collective
responsibility to live out our baptismal call.
The Archdiocese of Chicago summarizes its
Renew My Church imperatives in the following manner,
"Renew My Church is first and foremost a journey of spiritual renewal.
Jesus is asking all of us--in light of our Baptism and Confirmation--
to work with the Holy Spirit in new and creative ways to:
Makes Disciples, Building Communities. and Inspire Witness."
In transforming our faith formation program at St. George this year,
it is our goal to journey with families on the path to fulfilling
theses imperatives.
We will support you as you lead the domestic churches of your homes.

FREE TUITION
To help defray tuition for Religious Education class, Confirmation retreat & First Communion sacrament fees, the parish offers the P.A.R.T. program. You can purchase PART certificates after Masses on Sunday or in the Parish office during the week. This is a fundraiser for the school and you.
The discount of 50% of the profits from each card you buy goes into your account quarterly. The amount in your account can be set aside for tuition this year or next or another educational institution of your choice.
If you have any questions about this program, just give us a call at 708-532-8211.
The following videos (Mass - The Heart of the Matter; A New Mission for a Missionary People) came about as a part of a synod held within the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. All are encouraged to explore that site to gain a new energy to renew their faith. This link will bring you to these videos and to the overall website. Please free free to explore and share with family and friends.
