Religious Education helps individuals and communities acquire and deepen Christian faith and identity through initiation rites, instruction, and formation of conscience. To meet the needs of our growing parish, Religious Education classes are offered at various times.  Children must be registered each year for grades one through eight. Please see Senior Youth Ministry for information on high school students. Registration forms for Religious Education classes are available on the website, at the rectory or in the Religious Education Office. A yearly registration fee is charged to help cover the cost of books and materials.

The Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist are received in the second grade.  Students are required to attend first grade to provide two years preparation for these sacraments.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is received in the eighth grade. Confirmation preparation is two-fold. First, the students must have attended all eight grades of CCD and then they are required to participate in a six-week immediate sacramental preparation program.

Parents of children preparing for a sacrament are required to attend preparation classes for each sacrament.

Children with special needs either become part of the Christian Initiation of Children (CIC) process or are mainstreamed in regular Religious Education classes in conjunction with one-on-one tutoring.
