Religious Education Classes are offered to students via two options:

• Regular Program Classes (Grades 1-7) - Classes take place in a classroom setting with the overall work covered in class with the exception of the seventh grade students who complete additional papers and service hours in preparation for making their Sacrament of Confirmation in the fall of their eighth grade year. Classes are held on Tuesdays beginning October 3rd and are held from 3:45-4:45 p.m. in St. Eugene School.
• Independent Study Program (Grades 1-7) - This class is for parents who want their children to complete their grade-level chapter work at home and want to use their church attendance as their participation in religious education.

Our Verbum Dei Catholic Missionary Community invites you for Prayer with Scripture Wednesday Evenings 7:00-8:30pm at the St. Eugene Convent (7920 W. Foster Ave., Chicago, IL 60656).

"We invite you to a time of prayer where you can stop from the hurry and busyness of life to be with God, listening to Him through His Word. The prayer time includes song, reflection and meditation."

**This same type of Prayer is offered in the Convent on Tuesdays in SPANISH at 7:30pm and on Wednesdays in POLISH at 7:30pm (upper chapel).**

Have you ever considered serving the Church as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion?
This role is extremely important for the celebration of the Eucharist.
This ministry puts you at the center of the Church’s life.

Currently we need 5 Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
at every Sunday Mass except for the third Sunday of every month at the 5PM Mass when there is a Celebrant and a Deacon. Anytime there are multiple Priests and/or Deacons, they take precedence over any Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion.

Our greatest need for Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
is at the 11:30 AM Mass on Sunday. This means that our current Ministers at 11:30 Mass must get scheduled more frequently.

If you are interested in becoming an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion, please fill out this form (https://container.parishesonline.com/.../4053/20230618B.pdf) and drop in the Sunday collection basket or return to the parish office. Lois Feist will call you to give you additional information and answer any questions you may have to make your decision.
