On Saturday, February 24, 2024, I will be at St. Jude Catholic Church, 21689 Toledo Road, Boca Raton 33433, and on Monday, February 26, I will be at St. Peter Catholic Church, 1701 Indian Creek Parkway, Jupiter 33458, to visit with one of Jesus' Apostles. I invite you to join me in this extra-ordinary experience! "I am excited to see this relic because this arm hugged Jesus! That's exactly what I said to Ms. Kelly when I found out about this relic being on pilgrimage back in October 2023. I nominated our parish as a host, but unfortunately the "Treasures of the Church" Catholic evangelization ministry didn't choose us -- but I'm ok with driving to the parishes that were!
St. Jude Thaddeus, as one of the Twelve, was a member of the first Christian community and his experiences as part of that group at the Last Supper and after the Resurrection, the Ascension, and Pentecost are described in Sacred Scripture. When the Apostles are listed in Matthew 10:3 and Mark 3:18, the name "Jude" does not appear but "Thaddeus" does. He may have picked up this name to differentiate him from Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus on the night before He died.

- Your sponsor's parish will probably write its own sponsor letter.
- However, some pastors just like to fill out a form. If your sponsor is having a hard time getting a letter, s/he can bring this one to her/his church and ask them to sign and seal it.

This program year has gotten off to a strong start despite all of the uncertainty. I want to thank you for following the mask policy. We continue to keep class sizes quite small for the space while utilizing the air purifiers and air conditioning in every room. We've had a higher number of absences this semester, but it's because we are all following the "out-of-an-abundance-of-caution" mindset. No one has been out due to COVID-19, thanks be to God. For those who are approaching 3 absences already, catechists will be sending home assignments to help your kids keep God at the forefront of their minds, building the habit of trying to see God in the events of their day.
Speaking of habits... kids are challenged to remember appropriate classroom behavior both in the schools and here in our parish program. Home-life and school-life can be so different! We've had to institute a cell phone use policy, effective immediately. Please review this with your children who bring phones to class.
1-Volume on phones will be turned to off so that we cannot hear any notification sounds between 5:10 and 6:30pm.
2-During class, phones will be kept in pockets or purses-- out of sight.
- If anyone in the class looks at his or her phone without permission, the entire class will take out their phones and place them upside down, an arm's distance away, on the table that the child is using as a desk.
- If anyone attempts to use or uses a phone that is on the table, the entire class will place their phones on a table at the front of the classroom, within sight, but out of reach.
- Students will pick up their phones at dismissal, after the closing prayer.
- If you have urgent news to share, you should either call our office or come to the Parish Hall and sign your child out of class early.
This has never been a real problem before; I'm sure it's just part of the transition from pandemic school-at-home to post-pandemic school-in-classrooms. Thank you for encouraging your children in this self-discipline. And a high-five goes out to the vast majority of kids who don't use their phones during class time! Great job!!
