Natural Family Planning Awareness Week July 19th - July 26th

The papal encyclical Humanae Vitae beautifully articulates respect for God’s design for authentic love through the gift of human sexuality, conjugal love and responsible parenthood. Married Couples who use NFP report many benefits including: better communication between spouses, increased emotional maturity, deeper understanding of each other’s bodies and growth and respect for God’s gift of fertility. For NFP resources please visit www.USCCB/NFP.org or http://nyfamilylife.org/natural-family-planning/

All new registrations must bring a copy of their child’s birth certificate along with a copy of a utility bill to veri-fy home address. We will not accept any registrations forms without the above requested.

Rules for CYO Placement at Holy Child

Your child must be a Holy Child parishioner who has been registered with our Parish and School of Religion as of Sep-tember 2014, unless you are a new parishioner and your child is entering 1st grade and will be attending school of religion for the first time, you are a parishioner of St. John Neumann, or live within the boundaries of Holy Child that have been set by the CYO Director.

If your child attends School of Religion at a different Parish other than St. John Neumann, or attends Catholic School they must register at the school they attend to play CYO Bas-ketball. If your child will be trying out for a team at their Par-ish and does not get picked for a team, CYO will find a bor-dering Parish team for your child.

Players must attend two tryouts to be considered to play for a Holy Child Team. Try-outs will be conducted in the second week of September. Dates and times will be announced at a later date.

All School of Religion tuition must be up to date or paid in full prior to registering for basketball or any other sports program Holy Child offers.

All payments for the CYO basketball league will be due after tryouts when team selections are completed. There will be a separate fee for uniforms.
