High School Students & Parents,
During this time, I suggest that our high school kids make use of Fr. Robert Spizter's "Seven Essential Modules" presentations to continue their religious education.  Honestly, I've been looking for a way to present this information for a couple of years.  The topics really are, as Fr. Spizter suggests, essential.  And fascinating.  Just look at the list of module titles below in the schedule.  If our young people know this information, they are more likely to withstand the challenges to their faith that they surely already face, and will face even more as they graduate into adulthood.  I suggest parents join in and watch the modules with their kids.  We can all benefit from this knowlege.  The "modules" consist of seven Powerpoint-like presentations, available online for free, that discuss some key concepts that many people struggle with in our faith these days. To access these modules, visit http://crediblecatholic.com.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
God Bless,
Fr. Jason Signalness
