Religious Education Classes for 2008/2009 starting in Sept.
 See "Dates/Events to Remember" for exact dates.

Religious Education classes are designed for on-going faith formation and for the sacramental preparation of children in grades preschool through 8th grade not attending Catholic school.  (Please note that youth going into the 8th grade and not attending Catholic school who already have begun Confirmation preparation still need to register for fall classes). 

 Participation in Religious Education classes for at least a year prior to the reception of First Eucharist (normally celebrated in the 2nd grade) and on-going yearly class participation prior to beginning preparation for Confirmation (normally celebrated in the 8th grade) is the recommended requirement for Sacramental Celebration. 
Also, in early Fall, bibles will again be presented during Mass to students enrolled in the 6th grade.

Religious Education classes meet once a week for the traditional classes and twice a month on Sunday for the family Religious Education classes.  Several options of class times are offered to parents

Traditional Sunday preschool and kindergarten classes for 3 & 4 year olds are at 10:30 a.m. and run until 11:45 a.m.

Religious Education sessions for Grades K-8.
For grades K--5 Monday/Tuesday classes begin at 4:30 p.m. and run until 5:45 p.m. .

For grades 1-8 Wednesday classes begin at 6:30 and
 run until 7:45 p.m.

 Family Religious Education classes are offered for children in  pre school -5th grade with at least one parent (or guardian) present and for youth in grades 6-8 on two Sundays each month  following the 8:45 a.m. Mass (10:20--12:10 p.m.) in the PAC. 
Thank you to all those who responded to the survey for the Religious Education program.  In response to your suggestions, we have split the Sunday Family program into two sessions.

This year we will have Sunday Family Session A (PreK-8th Grade) which will take place the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the Month, and then Sunday Family Session B(PreK-5th grade), which will take place the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the Month.
