We welcome the opportunity to partner with parents in the religious education of their children, providing instruction in the Catholic faith through weekly religious education sessions and participation in one of the three weekend Masses. Class times and locations will be determined based on the number of students enrolled in each grade and at each parish.

 

Our catechists and volunteers are committed to creating an environment that is safe, nurturing, and fun. Religious Education classes and family formation programs are provided to children in grades PK-7.  Youth Ministry is available for teenagers in grades 8 to 12.

 

Preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion is available for children in grade 2. If your child did not receive First Communion and is currently in grade 3 or above, please contact the Director of Religious Education to discuss options for sacramental preparation.

 

Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation is offered at the age of 13. Students turning 13 by November 1st of the programming year, up to age 18, may register for confirmation classes. Please contact the Director of Religious Education to discuss options for sacramental preparation if over the age of 18.
