Instruction for Grades 5-6 is presented in a traditional classroom format.  Classes meet on Tuesday evenings from 7:00pm - 8:15pm.

The elementary Program incorporates the First Reconciliation and First Eucharist two-year sacrament preparation programs.

Please understand that due to the sacramental preparation programs, Whole Family Catechesis cannot be offered to Grades 1 & 2 or Grade 7 & 8.

                                                                            WHOLE FAMILY CATECHESIS

Our Whole Family Catechesis Program is designed to engage families with their young children who are entering Grade 3 through 6 to learn about our Catholic faith.  Families meet approximately six times a year on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm- 9:00pm. 

Parents, guardians, and their children attend and are presented a curriculum at each gathering. Families are then asked to work together at home exploring the Scriptures that relate to what was presented. 

                                                  JUNIOR HIGH CATECHESIS

Our confirmation preparation program begins in the 7th grade and continues in the the 8th grade.

Our sessions typically meet bi-weekly on Sunday evenings from 6:00pm to 8:00pm and are presented in an interactive youth minitry model.  We combine theological instruction with small group discussion and community service activities.

                                                   Inclusive Formation - Special Needs Classes

The Religious Education Special Needs Program was developed to provide an opportunity for our young people, who may be educationally and/or developmentally challenged, to journey in faith in a structured environment.

Classes for the Special Needs Program meet on Sunday mornings (times are arranged) in a structured environment with flexibility regarding scheduling, presentation of subject material and sacrament reception. A devoted team of teacher and assistants provide instruction suitable for the needs of the young people. The children are grouped according to age. Learning is done through prayers, lessons, music and fun.
