Parish Religious Education

religiousedThis program is designed for lifelong education of the parish. The obligation of educating children is enhanced by attendance at the sessions as scheduled for specific age groups. Children are registered with the Director of Religious Education prior to attending classes.

2024-2025

Faith formation are our programs for the on-going spiritual and faith development of our parishioners, including Catholic Doctrine, sacrament preparation, and Bible Study. Our offerings include programs for those who are pre-Kindergarten age to grade 8,  teens (grades 9 - 12), young adults, adults, men and women.

Adults
The subjects studied vary and always have the approval of the pastor. Nothing heavy! Our usual subjects consist of videos or audios with discussion following. Occasionally there will be an evening study group that will be over Zoom. It is easy to get on, just follow the link sent in the email on the evening before class. There is usually no cost involved to participate unless a study guide is needed. Keep an eye open for announcements in the William Tell, the bulletin and flyers for current and upcoming studies.
