Faith Formation For Children

Religious Education (Re-Ed)

We recognize parents as the first teachers of their children in beliefs and practices of our Catholic Faith. Our Religious Education Program is designed to assist parents in their role as primary educators of their children. The program provides formal classroom instruction in the doctrines of our faith, and provides an environment which enables children to apply these teachings to their lives. Equally important to this instruction are our goals of helping children and families to worship, sharing and fostering community and motivating children to service. Parents’ participation in all aspects of our program is essential to its purpose and success. The parents catechize informally but powerfully by example and instruction; we, therefore, ask that parents give their children’s religious classes the importance they deserve. By working together, parish and family, our faith will fill the hearts of our children.

The Religious Education Program welcomes all children and youth, baptized or not, to participate in the catechetical program.

Catechesis: Classes are offered every Saturday of the month at 10:00 am to 11:00 am via zoom.

A Family Mass is celebrated every 2nd Sunday at 10:00 A. M. The children with their families are encouraged to celebrate and worship together as part of the parish community. The Re-Ed classes take turns to sponsor the Family Mass.

Sacramental Preparation for Second Grade: This is a two year program beginning with first grade where children learn of God’s love. In the second year, the children and families prepare for the sacrament of Reconciliation. The second half of the year is spent in preparing for First Eucharist to be celebrated in May. Meetings and retreats allow parents to be involved in helping their child know the meaning of these sacraments within their homes as well as within the classroom.

The Confirmation Preparation Program is a two-year journey of faith for students having completed eight years of religious education or parochial school. 

Confirmation Year 1 (Grade 8) and Confirmation Year II (High School)
