- Students go to their grade-level classrooms while adults and high schoolers gather together (K-1st, 2nd, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th)

O.C.I.A. Class (Order of Christian Initiation)Are you or someone you know:
- Not yet confirmed?
- Away from the sacraments for a time?
- Not Catholic but interested in learning more?
- Catholic, and just wanting to learn more about your faith?
Attending these meetings is not a commitment - they are information gatherings to help answer questions about the Catholic faith.
To register, call Faith Porter at the parish office (616-681-9701, ext. 110) or email her at [email protected]. -
Fr. Hardon Catechism ClassFor those interested in honing their theological knowledge and being better equipped to share, teach, and spread the faith, this class is for you! We meet on the 2nd Wed of each month from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at Visitation Hall in New Salem. At each meeting, we go over the answers for that month's chapter, then answer questions and elaborate on certain topics of interest. There is an option to complete this course and receive a Marian Catechist certification as well.
Contact Kathryn Mulderink at [email protected], or call the parish office, if you would like to join us. -
