CLASSES WILL BEGIN Wednesday, September 8th at 6:15 p.m. We will have a Meet and Greet for the parents, teachers and students. The children will then attend class while we have a meeting to go over the Handbook, the year’s expectations and answer any questions you may have. A social will follow. Dismissal will be at 7:30 p.m.


St. Joseph’s Religious Education Department, under the mandate of The Office of Child Protection Services of the Diocese of Charleston, will present a children’s Program of Prevention Education – “Teaching Touching Safety,” to our students each year. The content of material being offered has been designed specifically for the Diocese of Charleston. There is a six-minute video presentation accompanied by a lesson. It is a part of our ongoing effort to maintain a safe environment for children and to protect all children from sexual abuse. Additional information will be sent home to the families at the beginning of the school year. You may access the curriculum at www.nationalcatholic.org/touchingsafety/charleston.htm

We are looking for persons interested in the Catholic faith. The RCIA process is open to anyone seeking information about the Catholic religion. Invite a friend, a co-worker or a relative to Come and See. You may reach Linda at 556-4611 ext. 104 or linda@saintjosephchas.com

 

Opportunities for Ministry

Opportunities abound for anyone wishing to help share their Catholic faith with our children. We will help you with all necessary tools. We need catechists, aides, and helpers (office, computer, etc.). Please consider giving of your time and talent by joining our Religious Education Team. We also need sponsors and support members for the RCIA Team. Please contact Linda at the above numbers.


Our religious education program is successful due in part to the generosity of our catechists in their sharing of their time and talent. Thank you to all of you.
