HALLWAY MONITORS, AND OFFICE HELPERS

        Saint Augustine Church would like to recognize the wonderful group of volunteers in the RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM as well as the leadership of Rowena Hoblin as the Director of Religious Education for the parish.  These hardworking catechists, assistant catechists, hallway monitors, and clerical workers dedicate their time and talent in teaching the Catholic faith to over 470 students in the Religious Education Program.  These volunteers truly deserve this recognition for their ministry is extremely difficult especially in today's world.  In addition, the parish would like to thank our clergy and instructors in their guidance and support of this ministry:  Fr. Bill, Fr. Michael, Deacon Jim, Deacon Sam, Michael Borges,

On December 16, 2015 the Religious Education Program celebrated its Christmas Celebration for all of its catechists and volunteers.  Santa Claus dropped by unexpectedly and surprised everyone!  The children and a few adults sat on Santa's knee and told him what they wanted for Christmas.  Afterwards, we were treated to a musical quartet by four wonderful students from Albertus Magnus High School.  The food was delicious, the camaraderie was excellent, and the music entertainment was fantastic!  It was an excellent party!!!

       On November 15, 2015, ten of our Saint Augustine catechists were honored by the Archdiocese of New York at the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers in Ossining, New York by Bishop Gerald T. Walsh and Sister Joan Curtin.  Our catechists were recognized for their outstanding commitment to evangelization and Catholic faith formation.  The following catechists were awarded their Certification in Catechist Formation for Level One:  Frances Procino, Donna Termini, Greg Hutter, Rose Campbell, and Stephen Hegarty. The following catechists were given the Medal of Honor for their 25 years of serving as catechists:  Anne Fallon, Maryanne Modafferi, Chris Prendergast, and Michael Borges.  In addition, Gerald Scanlan received a special recognition for his 42 years of teaching the faith as a catechist and as an RCIA instructor.  Please join us in congratulating them and commending them for their selfless dedication to our parish.

    Our gratitude and deepest appreciation to all of our 2014-2015 catechists, assistant catechists, substitute catechists, and office volunteers.  May God bless you as you carry on this beautiful and rewarding ministry of EVANGELIZATION to the children in our parish community.  You are true examples of what it means to be "the salt of the earth".
