RELIGIOUS ED 2023-2024 PROGRAM 

“If a family is centered on Christ, He will unify and illume its entire life,” ~Pope Francis

Our Religious Ed instruction for Gr. 1-2, 4-8 is liturgically based to help the students understand the Gospel message at their age level in preparation for Mass each Sunday. Weekly Mass attendance is expected of all our Religious Ed students (see Mass times below). Classes meet 12 times/year on Sunday mornings. There are 3 sessions to choose from:

• Session 1: 7:45 -8:45 a.m.
• Session 2: 9:15-10:15 a.m.
• Session 3: 10:45-11:45 a.m.

In the sacrament preparation years we use Pflaum's Together in Jesus 1st Reconciliation & 1st Eucharist program. Both sacraments are received in third grade. All families in Gr. 1-8 also complete two Family Faith Activities each month. 

Details on our Confirmation program are on the "Confirmation Program" page.

Registration is open July 15-31 each year

Please note: there are no refunds for those who withdraw from the program .
