 Additional Information
Our Religious Education programs are designed to involve children in the life of the parish as they study Catholic doctrine, the Scriptures, the beliefs and rituals of their faith.

Our Sunday Religious Education Program for Pre-K to Grade 5 students runs from mid-September through April and is divided into two sessions, the first session meets from 9:00 am to 10:15 am, and the second session is from 10:30 am to 11:15 am. Following each session, it is expected parents will attend the Eucharist with their children. Parents are invited on a regular basis to participate in special activities with their children during class time.

Grade six students meet weekly in small groups for study and discussion. The times and locations for these classes vary.

Our Summer Session Religious Education is a two-week program offered as an alternative to the Sunday Program for students in Grades 1-8. Grades 1-5 meet everyday from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. Grades 6-8 meet from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Concentrated and intense, with daily homework, this program also has art, music and projects as an integral part of the curriculm. All students and parents in this program reunite during the school year for classes, discussion and activities. Strong parental involvement is a requirement for this program.

Sacramental Programs
Preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist involves a series of workshops for both children and parents. These workshops are designed to assist the parents in their role as the primary educators of their children through adult instruction. The children participate in small classes and activities, which enhance their learning experience.

Liturgy of the Word for Children Grades 1-4
Each Sunday, from September to May, the Liturgy of the Word is celebrated for children in Grades 1 to 4 in a manner adapted to their age and understanding. Children are dismissed after the Opening Prayer of Mass to share Sunday's Scripture with their peers. They return to their families at the Presentation of the Gifts of Bread and Wine.
