Dear Religious Education families,
Children are the joy of our parish, especially on the occasion of their first confession, first holy communion, Confirmation, and at their participation in Religious Education and Sunday Mass.  As a community, we will work together to have on-site classes for our children.  To do so, we must agree to fulfill the requirements of both the government and of the Archdiocese of New York. 
These requirements include:

• Open windows for fresh air when possible
• Social distance of six feet must be maintained
• Face masks worn by all, students, teachers, parents alike
• Sanitizing of classroom spaces
• Closed to visitors, students and approved volunteers only
• Screening upon entering, temperature taken
• Hand sanitizing
• Provide a ‘Guardian Angel’ space for child who becomes sick while at class
• And most of all, parents be informed and agree to follow the plan.

St. George has six classrooms, St. Francis has five classrooms, each church with room to accommodate 15-20 students.  Children will use one door to enter the Religious Education space.  Parents must accompany their child to the door and wait for the temperature check.  Children will not be admitted if running a fever.  Parents must be sure they can be reached at all times in case their child becomes ill.

Please pray for the intercession of St. George and St. Francis to keep our children, families, and all involved in the religious education of our children safe and well, and that we finish the 2020-2021 year with success and gratitude.

At St. George, please contact Mrs. Cathy Hart, 845-482-4186, for more information.
