DRE’s, CRE’s and Youth Ministers are asked to organize a group at the parish so that The Theology of the Body can be implemented in the fall. Parents are most welcome to be part of a parish group so they can “walk with” their child in this formation.

Training will be provided for those who teach the following grades in parish programs:
Grades 7th and 8th as well as Grades 9th and 10th and 11th.
