At Home with Jesus

This year all our events will be held virtually to ensure the safety of all. Information about all event dates and links for virtual events will be sent out via our weekly Flocknote email.

Family Gatherings 

These are opportunities for families to come together and share in faith formation as a community. During these sessions, we will learn, create, and pray together as a CtR community. 

Parent Retreat Nights

We offer these opportunities for parents to rest, reflect, and recharge in order to support them in their vocation as Catholic parents.

Virtual Classes & Story Times--New

In an effort to keep the spirit of community among catechists and our families alive, we will be hosting four Virtual Classes over Zoom for our 1st-6th graders, and Story Time for the little ones.

Submitting e-Assessments

1. Go to www.aliveinchrist.osv.com/family
2. Log in with your username and password. If you have never used this site before you will need to create a user name and password.
3. Select the Grade, Unit, and Chapter for the assessment being done. Enter the child's first & last name and send it to homebased@ctrcc.com.

• Please make sure your child enters his/her First and Last name when completing their e-Assessment, as well as their grade level.
• Your child can re-submit an e-Assessment as many times they'd like to achieve their desired grade, but please note we are far more concerned with your child having a firm grasp and understanding of the material, not with their grades.

• If I make one parent account can all my children use it? Yes. Just make sure that each child writes their name in the e-Assessment. 
• Is there a parent answer key for the book? No, but going over the lesson before teaching your child will be helpful in your own understanding of the material.
• How will I know if my child completed the e-assessment and how they did? Upon completing the e-assessment a confirmation will be sent to the email associated with the initial account set up. In the confirmation email, a detailed report of the correct answers and how the child answered is included.
