Provides formal religious education classes for children in Grade 1 through Grade 11, throughout the school year.

The religious education program is meant to support parents in their most important role as the primary religious educators of their children, and to support and form those who come forward for catechetical ministry. Parents are urged to consider volunteering in our program as a catechist, aide or other support role.  Volunteer catechists form community, share faith, assist in sacramental preparation, and witness to continuing Catholic Christian formation as a lifelong process.

Through classroom participation, participation in liturgy and worship, and through faith sharing of children and catechists, our goal is to:
 

The maximum class size for 2021-2022 is 14 in 30 x 60 open classrooms.

Within our formal religious education program students in grade 2 prepare to receive their sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.  Included in the preparation process are two parent meetings, two parent/child meetings and two parent/child retreats.  Parents are expected to take an active role in the process to help enable their child to appreciate and celebrate the sacraments as lifelong gifts.

Following full formation of primary and secondary grades, teens enter into a two year program which culminates with the celebration of Confirmation in the fall of the third year.  In addition to scheduled class times, preparation includes 2 retreats, 10 hours of Christian service each year, parent/student meetings and sponsor formation.

Our program welcomes children with special needs.  We do our best to welcome each child into a typical classroom whenever possible. When a typical classroom is not able to meet the needs of a child, accommodations are made to help nurture the child’s faith in an alternate setting.
