Holy Week for Children

April 3, 2020 by St Mary Anne Admin

There are many resources available to help you and your family celebrate a meaningful Holy Week.

Here’s a children’s activity handout from Virginia Theological Seminary:

Confirmation Classes for our youth begin next Sunday, March 8th. Interested youth in middle school and high school are welcome to begin the education process. They will meet for ten Sundays (excluding Palm Sunday and Easter), 10AM-Noon, in the Conference Room (upstairs in Parish Center Offices). At the conclusion of the lessons, they will determine their readiness for Confirmation with the Bishop during his annual visit on Sunday, May 31st.
