In addition, a reminder note from the religious education office will
be sent home by the students.

one week before the first catechism class of the session. This
registsration period will be announced in the bulletin and the pulpit.

4. LATE REGISTSRATION: Begins the Tuesday after the first day of
catechism and continues through the third week of catechism. After
the third week of catechism, only registrations for home schooling
will be accepted.

PLEASE NOTE: AS PER DIOCESAN POLICY, First Communion and Confirmation students MUST attend classes at Our Lady of Mercy for the purpose of sacramental preparation. This includes all public, private, parochial, and home schooled students who are members of Our Lady of Mercy Church parish. For this reason, home schooling is NOT allowed at those two levels. Therefore, First Communion and Confirmation registrations MUST be completed by the end of Late Registration or the child's First Communion/Confirmation will be postponed until the following year.
