Religious Education 2022/2023

Religious Education is a ministry of the Catholic Church. We assist families in Catholic faith formation and in sacramental preparation (Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation). We offer a continuous program for students in Kindergarten through Confirmation. Curriculum is based on Scripture, Roman Catholic doctrine, prayer, traditions, and principles in an age appropriate setting and is approved by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. The effectiveness of our program assumes respect and cooperation between the students, parents and our staff.

Fees for Religious Education classes are: Grades K-10: $75.00 (1 child) , $100 (2 Children), $120 (3 children or more). 

Religious Education Registration will be after all of the Masses on the weekend of:

• August 20-21
