To the members of the Saint Finbar Church community:

We are pleased to announce grade school Faith Formation classes and high school Confirmation classes for the new academic year will commence in early October. Enrollment is open for students in grades 1 – 8 and for high school students preparing for Confirmation. Please contact Aneli Torres at: aneli@stfinbarburbank.org or contact the parish office at (818) 940-3921 between 9am and 4pm Monday through Friday for registration information. Registration forms and payment information are available online here.

Due to the COVID-19 health emergency, distance learning will be deployed for at least the month of October. As restrictions ease, in-person instruction for children in grades 1 – 8 will occur in newly expanded spaces in the Saint Finbar Church Faith Center, and Confirmation students will meet in-person in the Saint Finbar Church Community Center. At all times following the resumption of in-person classes, adequate social distancing for students will be provided.

As we journey together through the COVID-19 health emergency and into a “new normal,” our priority is and will remain the safety and well-being of our parish families and our community’s children.

We are excited to continue our mission of providing the best and most comprehensive faith learning experience possible and we look forward to commencing instruction for the new academic year in early October. Again, please contact Aneli Torres at: aneli@stfinbarburbank.org or contact the the parish office at (818) 940-3921 Monday through Friday from 9am and 4pm for registration information. Registration forms and payment information are available online here.

Sincerely,

Father Francis

Following God requires a courageous “YES” to his plan for our lives. May we continue to pray for the grace we need, through the intercession of our Blessed Mother and the Saints, to humbly fulfill God’s will.
