Faith Formation: Important Announcements
CCD and Confirmation
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT To: Parents and Guardians of Faith Formation Students In response to the Covid-19 (novel corona virus) outbreak and in keeping with the instructions received from the Office of Faith Formation of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, no more in-person faith formation classes at St. Augustine Parish will be held for the rest of this catechetical school year (March through May). However, students are still required to complete the remaining course work. Sister Nona and the catechists are actively working on an alternative way to do this. About two weeks prior to the First Communion and Confirmation Rites, Sister Nona will meet with parents, sponsors, and students. This is to ensure that the first communicants and Confirmation candidates are ready to and know how to receive the Sacraments. Outside of these required meetings, all other pre-scheduled meetings such as the ongoing faith formation sessions are canceled. Please continue to monitor St. Augustine’s Faith Formation page and our parish Facebook page for more updates. If you have any questions, please send them to staugustineffp@gmail.com or call the Parish Faith Formation office at 650-873-2878. Please continue to pray for those who have been impacted by this outbreak. Thank you and may God continue to bless you. The Faith Formation Program of St. Augustine
