SUNDAY SCHOOL PRE-REGISTRATION ENCOURAGED: The Department of Religious Education encourages parishes to hold pre-registration for the 2007-2008 Church school year. This will assist with planning, organizing, and ordering of materials. By ordering materials in June, classes can be prepared well in advance and teachers can review materials. Also, it avoids the last-minute rush and next day orders in September, which can add to the cost of materials. To download a copy of the Department of Religious Education Resource Catalog, visit the website www.religioused.goarch.org or to have one sent to you call the office 1-800-566-1088.
