Dear Community of St. Eugene,

Are you at the point where you're wondering "what next?" Are you searching for a meaningful way to get involved in the school community and work with young students in growing their relationship with God?

St. Eugene is already teaching Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in the Atrium for some of the early grade levels. We are hoping to expand the program to include more students. We need more trained catechists. We need you!

There is adult formation training for this beautiful program this summer. It will be held at St. Monica's Catholic Church in Edmond June 16-19 and 23-26, 9:00-4:30 This is training for Level 1, part 2. You are allowed to participate in this training even if you have not taken Level 1, part 1 yet.

St. Eugene has some funds to pay for this training.

Check the link to the brochure so you can learn more about the program. If you'd like to register please use this link. Let me know if you have any questions the brochure doesn't answer.

Thank you,

Christie Ardoin

Student Placement Input Form At CSSE, our goal is to create balanced and successful communities of learners. Our classroom teachers and administration carefully work as a team to prepare class lists for the next school year. A well-balanced class allows the students and teachers to perform at their best. While most students can be successful in any classroom, parents wishing to provide additional input regarding their child may fill out the linked form and return it to the office by May 25, 2021 through the mail, or email to principal@steugeneschool.org with subject “Placement Input.” Please note that specific teacher requests are not accepted.

Lost Library Books - Notices were emailed and printed and sent home during the last few weeks with all outstanding loans or damaged materials.

Safe Environment - NEW PROCESS - PLEASE REVIEW The Archdiocese of Oklahoma City instituted a new Safe Environment background and training process in July of 2020.

If you have not received the information but would like to continue your volunteer status please email safeenvironment@steugenes.org and instructions will be emailed to you directly. All current volunteers have until June 1st to complete or will no longer be considered a volunteer in good standing. If you have any other questions about the process please send them to the same address.

Looking for Families for the Vocare Chalice! Our church is blessed to have the Vocare Chalice Ministry, through which we pray for those called to serve the church through Vocations. Simply sign up with vocare@steugenes.org, let them know the mass you attend most often, and your family will be put on the rotation to take the Vocare Chalice home for a week at the end of your usual mass. The chalice comes with a prayer book to help guide your family. It’s a simple way to enhance your family’s spiritual life AND increase the number of men and women called to Holy Orders!

Mass is still celebrated daily at St. Eugene, and with the exception of school mass, masses are open for all to come and participate while following COVID precautions. The Archbishop has offered new guidelines this month. The Sunday mass obligation has been restored as of April 24th. The new guidelines can be found at http://archokc.org/returntomass.
