INFORMATION

2014-2015 Semester

“Welcome Parents”, thank you for supporting Religious Education and

Faith Formation at Mission San Luis Rey Parish. Parent Orientation/Information Meeting and handbook distribution is on Sunday September

14, 2014 from 9:00 to 9:50 AM in the St. Francis Center. It will be repeated Tuesday

Evening September 23, 2014 at 6:30 PM, same location. Please plan on attending either

the Sunday or Tuesday meeting; First Communion information will also be distributed.

First Communion – parents must request sacraments for their children in writing. Be sure

to fill out our Sacramental Request form, return the filled out form to the Religious

Education office with a copy of the child’s Baptism Certificate and a $25 processing fee.

Specific parent and child sessions are required for the reception of sacraments.

When the primary language at home is Spanish and the child is registered in the English

program, we highly recommend the parents attend meetings presented in Spanish, (i.e.,

Spanish Program orientation meetings & First Communion Meetings). Please request a

copy of the Spanish Program cover sheet/schedule.

Toda reunión se presentarán en español, por favor consulte el calendario en español.
