Parish Emails
First of all, those of you with Gmail and possibly other email accounts may find that these emails are going to your spam folders. As a matter of fact, you may not even be reading this email if you have not discovered them in your spam. Constant Contact is the platform that these emails are coming from and the emails may be conflicting with Microsoft Outlook, the new email service provider that the Sacred Heart staff are now using. This is the reason why the calendar is coming to you late. I’m working on this and hope to get it resolved soon. Bruce

We are excited to begin a new year sharing our faith and learning about the love of God. Students in Kindergarten through Fifth grade meet weekly Sunday mornings in the upstairs of Sacred Heart Academy (4895 Saratoga Ave, San Diego, CA 92107) at 8:30am in the morning. We gather together in a large group in the upstairs room from 8:30am-8:45am to have large group time. From 8:45am -9:40am we will break out into our age level group sections. Level 1 is Kindergarten-First grade, Level 2 is First Communion Class (IS A TWO YEAR PROGRAM), Level 3 is Third grade- Fifth grade. We will also offering a homeschooling option for parents to be the Catechist (homeschooling is not allowed for the First Communion Preparation Year). Parents will be the teachers and do monthly check ins with Stephen Williams on zoom.

First Communion is a two year program started this year as mandated by the Bishop McElory in November 2020. For First Communion your child’s first year will be in either a regular age level program and then the second year will be the preparation year when they do the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion. If your child was in level 1 last year as a First grader they will be doing their the level 2 sacraments this year. Parents are the primary educators of their children. They are “the most influential agents of catechesis for their children” and “catechize primarily by the witness of their Christian lives and by their love for the faith” (National Directory for Catechesis, p. 234). Attendance at weekly Mass is an integral part of each child’s faith formation. The Sacred Heart Church of Ocean Beach Religious Education Program provides students with a safe environment and systematic formal catechesis, which ensures effective faith and sacramental formation at each level.

Registration closes September 26, 2022.
Classes started October 2, 2022.
