RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Available Programs:
Preschool Sunday School for 3,4, and 5 year olds:
The program is held during the 9:30 a.m. Mass. It introduces children to God’s love and encourages them to share that love with others through caring, sharing and helping.
This program is held during the 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Masses. It is for students in the 1st through 5th grades. The students begin Mass with their families and are called up to the altar for a blessing and then leave to have their own liturgy of the Word in the Great Room. They hear the Gospel and interact with the message of the Scriptures. They return to Mass and their families at the time of the Offertory Procession.

First Reconciliation and First Communion Programs:
This program is held on Wednesday evenings from 4:45 - 5:45 p.m. or 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. for 2nd grade. The child needs to be accompanied to the First Reconciliation/First Eucharist classes by a parent. In the Fall there will be four classes in preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and 6 classes for First Communion in the Spring.
These programs are for children in grades 3rd through 5th (RCIC) and 6th grad and up (RCIT). These classes will prepare the students for Baptism, Eucharist and Reconciliation. The RCIC classes will be arranged as needed and the RCIT will be part of the Youth Program on Sunday evenings.
This program is for students with special needs and is available on Sundays during the 11:30 Mass. It is designed for persons age 5 through adult who have difficulty acquiring instruction in a typical classroom setting. The program teaches the presence of Jesus in our lives and encourages our involvement in the Church community. Preparation classes for Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation are also offered. This year we are also offering a new program for younger children that have special needs. Please contact Janice Straley for information on this program.
