Dear Parishioners,

Greetings and welcome back! We hope your summer was restful and you are all in good health with your families. The Children Program this year will consist of two divisions, the Elementary and the Pre-Teen divisions, and they are as follow:

Pre-Teen: 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade, Officer will be announced later.

All activities, in both divisions, will run every Saturday, from 4:00-6:00 P.M. and will be followed by a mass at 6:30 celebrated by Father Samuel in English language. All children will have the opportunity to participate in the service as well as perform readings.

Children enrolled in the Elementary division from K- 2^nd grade will attend Religion classes from 4:00-5:00 and they will have Religious activities such as Crafts and movies from 5:00-6:00.

Beginning this year, First Communion preparation will be offered from 4:00-6:00 for children who are in third grade and higher in their school, and the 2^nd grade level will be a Prep class.

A cultural club is launched for children in the 4^th and 5^th grade levels and those 3^rd graders who received their First Communion last year. They will have Religious activities (Crafts and movies) from 4:00-5:00 and from 5:00-6:00, child has to select at registration time one of the 3 following activities: Arabic lessons, Arabic traditional songs and plays, or children choir.

Children enrolled in the Pre-Teen division will participate in any indoor or outdoor activity planned by their officer; however, outdoor activities may be held on Sundays if needed.

All children enrolled in the program as well as the members of the youth group at St. Jude will meet during two major events, a Christmas Presentation one week before Christmas, and a talent show toward the end of the program in May. They will have the opportunity to perform during those two events in presence of their parents and everyone else in the community.

A pre-registration in the Elementary and Pre-Teen divisions was held last Sunday in the Church Hall; however, registration may still be taken when the sessions begin. The first session will be held on Saturday, October 3 at 4:00 P.M. in the classrooms. For more info, please contact Mrs. Layla Tahan @ (626) 966-9672 or email her to:  laylatahancmf@hotmail.com.
