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 Jr. high and 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.

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.
