GRADES 1-8
The Religious Education Program for Grades 1-8 provides a comprehensive presentation of our Catholic Faith. The Catechetical content of the lessons (Loyola Press, Finding God Series and the EDGE) is in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The goal of our curriculum is to aid in the spiritual and moral formation of the students.
It is expected that all students enrolled in the Religious Education Program will attend one of the Masses each Sunday. We have a family Mass on Sunday at 10:15 and a Teen Mass on Sunday at Noon.
First Communion Preparation is a two-year program. First graders should be registered and attend class as a preparation for First Communion in grade two.

Coming Soon... Religious Education for Pre-schoolers
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to the religious formation of children ages 3 to 6. It is inspired by Montessori principles of education. Two parishioners, Lisa Martin and Kellie Young, will be trained in the program over the next year and hope to start an Atrium, a children’s center, in the fall of 2011.
