First Fridays at Assumption

Join us every First Friday at Assumption Parish for Mass at 11. Followed by a BYO lunch and playtime in the Fr. Bernard Hall next door. Fr. Michael offers confessions from about 10:30 until 11.

Upcoming Catholic Homeschool Conferences

Although there is not a homeschooling conference specifically for Catholics in Nashville, we are fortunate to have a few good ones not too far away.

First, March 18-19 comes one in Memphis. Next, on April 2, there will be a conference in Atlanta. Finally, in June there is a Catholic homeschooling conference in Kentucky.

I went to my first homeschooling conference last year and really enjoyed the experience and the inspiration to keep on going. I highly recommend trying to get to one of these options.

Mom's Night Out

Get out of the house, chat and eat with other Catholic homeschooling moms. Join us on February 16 for a night out. For more information, e-mail me.

Join Us...

MARCH meets every First Friday at Assumption Church for Mass, lunch and play time. Other activities take place throughout the month. South MARCH (for Catholic homeschoolers in and around Franklin, TN) meets several Fridays out of the month.

Year Opening Mass

MARCH will be having a Mass to open the school year at Assumption on the first Friday in September. Come join us for Mass and pizza afterwards. Parents, bring your ideas and calendars, so we can begin to plan our school year activities!

End of Year Program

The Spring is advancing quickly and summer will soon be upon us. It is time to think about our annual MARCH End-of-Year program.

For those of you who have not yet participated in this event, I would just explain that it has become a favorite MARCH tradition. We gather on a weekend afternoon and our children use the opportunity to display their particular talents. They play an instrument or dance or recite a poem. They might perform a little skit or bring artwork. Once we had a display of the fruits of the garden; on another occasion there was a chess demonstration. This is intended to be a fun opportunity for us all to enjoy each others' talents. The kids do not have to be ready to appear at the Schermerhorn.

Who: All are invited.

What: MARCH End-of-Year Program

When: Saturday, June 26

Please bring:

A side dish or dessert. Karen Pagan and her son John Paul will make something wonderful for a main dish.
