Office of Faith Formation/Religious Education

The Religious Education of our children is coordinated by the Office of Faith Formation under the Direction of Sr. M. Helene Jakubowski, RSM. 
 
Once known as Catechism, or CCD we are formed in our faith from three places: 
  • The Home of our Parents/Grandparents/Family.
  • Formal Weekly Religion Class.
  • Weekly attendance at Church.
All school-aged children must be registered and participate in our parish program while they attend the coordinating grade in Public or other (non-Catholic) Private Schools.  
 
In order to receive the Sacraments of Penance, First Holy Communion and Confirmation, students must be registered, attend Sunday classes and weekly Mass consistently so as to be properly prepared.  
 
Traditionally, children studied two years before receiving 1st Penance and 1st Holy Communion in 2nd Grade.  Religion classes continue for 3-7th grade with students receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation after 7 years of study.
