Dear Parents:
We pray that this letter finds you and your family healthy and safe.

In addition, we are offering all our students, parents and teachers the Stations of the Cross. You will be able to access this special presentation through the St. Michael’s website at https://saintmichaelsderby.org or our FB Page at https://www.facebook.com/stmichaelsderby There will be a PDF file that you may use to follow along with the responses.
Also, we have started a program to aid our students in learning the prayers of the Catholic faith. The first prayer is the Nicene Creed which is our profession of faith and which is recited at every mass on Sunday. Work has begun on additional prayers and will be posted as they become available. You can access these prayers through the St. Michael’s website at https://saintmichaelsderby.org by going to Religious Education > CCD Program > Prayers > Nicene Creed-Lessons.
The health and safety of our children, staff and families still remain as our primary concern. We will keep you updated as to the possible opening of our September 2021 CCD classes. Communication will be sent sometime mid-summer.
Until then, we ask that you please continue to use this time, as a family, to draw close to God! Please pray the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be with your children daily and attend Sunday Mass.
God’s continued Blessings to you all!
