Volunteers, working with children: Ohio Senate Bill 187 (section 109.574) states that a background check is required for anyone who supervises a child when no other person over 18 years of age is in the same room or, if outdoors, no other person over age 18 is within a 30 yard radius or has visual contact with the child.

Therefore if you plan to volunteer at St. Edward's working with children, whether it be driving on field trips, coaching, providing childcare with any organization, or being involved in PSR or Youth Ministry, it is necessary that we have your fingerprints on file with the Diocese.

It is also required by the Diocese that persons working/volunteering with children also attend "Protecting God's Children" session. Please contact Rebecca Bucknam at the parish office at 740-587-4160 for more information about these sessions.

Welcome to the 2021-22 Catechesis in our Parish School of Religion!

This year we are not only focusing on Grade level Catechesis/PSR as we have seen in years past, but we are also taking time as families and as adults, to integrate what students learn in grade level classrooms into foundations of our normal daily lives.

Christ meets us where we are... Let's continue together to meet Christ.

Classes were scheduled around teacher availability and current recommendations for Catechesis put out by the USCCB in the "Directory for Catechesis" July 2020:

There is an emphasis on learning our faith as a community across the generations (#77,131, 133, CCC 1325, 2207) and learning how to talk about our faith with each other (#53, 54, 56).
This year, we will try to deepen our family-wide understanding of the sacraments and the Mass as parts of our faith lives that inform every aspect of our existence as persons created in the image of God (#76,78, CCC 1324).
And we will try to improve our spiritual journey together as a Parish Community supporting the role of Parents as the Primary Teachers of our faith to their children (#124, CCC 2223, 2232).

Sunday Classes begin 9/12 and run from 9:30 - 10:30 am between Masses. No PSR during Mass.
Wednesday Classes begin 9/15 and run from 6:30 - 7:30 pm to leave time for those commuting from Columbus. No 1st hour time slot due to the increased number of classes on Sundays.

Some modifications may be made if enrollment increases significantly from 2019-20 estimates.
