Holy Ghost's ECF: Religious Education Classes
Registration for Holy Ghost's ECF Religious Education Classes is now open for our Public School students. Registration is free and can be done online, by calling the Church Office at 570-489-2353, or by filling out a registration form that will be published in our church bulletin. This year, in an attempt to update our records, we will be sending home a form at the first ECF class. Classes will again meet on Wednesdays from 4:30 till 5:30 in the Holy Ghost portion of La Salle Academy. Anyone who has physical difficulty maneuvering steps should please include that information in their registration so that we can make accommodations.
Registration for ECF Classes is NOW open. All school-aged children are welcome, K-8! Classes will begin on Wednesday, September 26.
Please take this obligation seriously and put your child's religious education BEFORE all other activities. ECF not only teaches our children how to become closer to God through prayer, service, and knowledge, but it also teaches them what it is to be an Eastern Rite Catholic, and the beautiful traditions of the Byzantine Catholic Church. To read a blog of what we did past years please click HERE. We welcome the opportunity to teach your child about his or her faith, and the ways of our beautiful Rite.
