Parents: Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns about the reminders/deadlines below (718-979-1272). We can’t work with you if we don’t know what your inquiry is!  Thank you so much in advance.

1. Because we need to create more and smaller Rel Ed classes for this coming school year and because we need to recruit more volunteer teachers, it’s especially important for you to re-register your child/ren by June 30, so we know what enrollment will be. Please bring with you, on the book collection days June 8 or June 9 (more about this below), your completed registrations for each child for ’20-‘21 as the deadline is June 30. If you are facing financial hardship due to COVID 19, you can pay as late as Sept.1, 2020 and/or fill out paperwork to verify your hardship and apply for a payment plan. Registrations letters and forms were mailed home the last week in April. Please look for them OR go to https://stpatrickssi.org/informationampregistration-1

3. There is a Required Confirmation Meeting on Tuesday, June 2 at 7 pm (on Zoom) for all students entering 8^th grade Rel Ed this Fall and for their parents. You were texted and asked to reply to the text to confirm your attendance. Please do so if you haven’t already. Zoom invite to follow.  

4. Year End Messages to Your Children from their Catechists. Thank you so much to our skilled and dedicated team of volunteer catechists. We wouldn't have a Rel Ed program withouth them!

I hope that this message to you finds you and your family safe and well . I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. God is watching over you as well as your guardian angels. You are all so blessed to have your families. I hope that you have completed/will complete the lessons in the workbook and are watching mass on line. Please continue to say your prayers daily so you will be ready for second grade Rel Ed when you will receive your next two sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. I miss each and every one of you very much and  wish we could have been together every Tuesday, but we had to stay home to stay safe . I look forward to seeing you soon in church and again in September at Rel Ed.
Love Mrs. Marsala  God Bless you and your families xoxo

Here we are at  the end of the school year.  It is hard to believe, for me, that we missed so much time in the classroom learning about our religion. Each of you,  in your own way (Brian, Santino, Jayden, Sophia, Dominick, Ryleigh, Declan, Camille, Christopher and Jax) is a good student.  I am sure you will do well in the second grade next year. Remember to read, pay attention, and ask questions. I always end the year in this way (you will have to imagine this):  I ask the class to gather all around me and I say “Remember, we have all become  friends".  We all laugh, jump up and down and run out the door to enjoy the summer.

God Bless all of you, Always.    Mrs. Goehl
 
And from 1B’s Assistant – Angela LaCava
 I was thinking back to when I was in 1st. Grade and loved going to school to learn new things and of course to see my friends. I want you to know that although I know it wasn't easy for you to go to "school" after you already were in school, I was happy! I was happy because I got to meet each of you and help you learn about God while at the same time refr!  I enjoyed watching you raise your hand to answer a question or read out loud to the rest of us . We were connected, and I hope that during this time at home you stay connected to God. Talk to him, pray to him, just like you talk to your friends on Zoom and Facetime. Remember, we will see each other again at the start of Rel Ed in the fall. I will come to say hello to you all. Miss all of you !!
Miss Angela.

Peace! Today I'm writing to the class 2B of St. Patrick's Rel. Ed. At this time Mr. Perci and I are thinking of all of you and what a blessed year we had together. Each one of you has touched our hearts. Your questions and love of learning more about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and all his works blessed us. Thank you. We were so proud of all of you when you received the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Soon you will receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion. Pray and review your class book. Till we meet again, you are in my prayers. Please keep us in yours.God loves You always.  La,La,La,La

To Our Fifth Grade class,     
On behalf of Mr. Festa and Ms. Sweeney, I would like to thank you for your participation in our class. We all missed you. Thank you all for giving us the opportunity to know and teach you. Thank you especially for letting us share our faith with you. I hope to see you all of you in September for a new year of Religious Education. Continue to practice your faith and keep God close to your heart by praying always.
God bless you all,
Mrs. Gemma

Dear Children,
 I hope you and your families are well. I know these are challenging—and, at moments, boring-- times. Please be aware that Mass is on T.V everyday on the Catholic Faith Network and on EWTN. Mass is a great way to “fill” 45 minutes of your day!  Please keep Jesus close to you and thank Him for all we have. It is important that you completed/complete your H.W. assignments in order to go on to the seventh grade.
I miss you all and pray for your continued health.
Mrs. Gioia

Dear 7th grade class,
I hope and pray that all of you are staying safe and healthy. I really missed all of you these past couple of months. I’m sorry we couldn’t finish up the year, but I pray that God will use everything you learned this year to draw you closer to Him. You were a great class. I hope you pray/talk to Jesus everyday. Also please watch mass every Sunday on T.V, until we can go back to church. Hope all of you have a great summer and have a strong faith that this will be over soon.
May God bless you always.      
Mr. G

Hey 8^th Graders,
I hope all of you are doing well, staying safe, and enjoying your time at home.  Since I didn’t get to see you for the end of the school year, please know that I wish you have a wonderful summer and that hopefully, we will see each other soon for your sacrament of Confirmation. I know it must be hard on all of you not being able to see your friends. Let's try to keep positive especially during this time.  Miss you guys!  You're all in my prayers.   =)
Mrs. Scimeca
