Religious Education

Most of our Religious Education (RE) classes meet in the Religious Education building on Sundays during the traditional school year. We ask that all students be signed up before attending a class. Questions about registration can be directed to the contacts listed below.

Pre-K - Grade 5   :: Classes meet at 9:15 a.m.; between the 8:00 and 10:30 a.m. Masses

Registration for Religious Education during the 2019-2020 school year will be available by the end of July. All current RE families will receive an email when this happens and registration forms will be available here or in the parish office.

Sacramental Preparation

Traditionally, First Communion and First Reconciliation occur during a student's second-grade year. Our diocese asks us to ensure that students are enrolled in religious education for one full year prior to seeking a sacrament.
Confirmation will be celebrated in the fall of tenth grade (or later, if the student is not ready). All students K-12 should be enrolled in parish catechetical programs. Our High School Faith Formation program does not end with Confirmation. We pause to celebrate the sacrament but know that it is only one step in our journey in growing in relationship with Christ.

Sacramental preparation is "above and beyond" standard Religious Education classes. Together, we will work with parents, families, and sponsors to prepare your child for these special, grace-filled moments.

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a week-long event for elementary students each summer. This year, it was held in early August. The youth and parish teens who volunteered had a great week learning and growing in our faith.

Youth Retreats & Events

Our parish participates in many retreats and events. Many of these opportunities are above and beyond traditional religious education. We strongly encourage participation, because retreats are a great opportunity to truly encounter the Lord. When available, information about upcoming retreats and ways to register will be found here.

Middle School Party Bus: Friday, April 17 - register by 4/14, cost $25.
