Thank you for sending your child/children to the O.L.S. Parish Religious Education program. Students will learn the importance of our faith in the context of a community. We look forward to enriching classes that help our students grow closer to God and learn about the love of Jesus. Our goal is that your child/children will learn the important tenets of the Catholic religion and learn to love the genuine practice of our faith.
Children prepare for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion in first and second grade, and receive these sacraments in second grade. Confirmation is also a two year program and students will receive Confirmation in the eighth grade. A full two years of preparation is necessary before receiving these sacraments.
We are looking forward to a productive year that includes parent involvement, family catechesis and service opportunities.
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES ARE OFFERED ON SUNDAY MORNINGS
Session 1:
Sundays 8:30am – 9:45am

CLASS PLACEMENT
Parish Religious Education Programs are preparation for life. Students are expected to attend religious education classes continuously from grades 1 through 8. Any student who drops out of the Program after receiving First Communion will be required to complete grade level(s) missed, unless he/she has participated successfully in another program. Final decision regarding class placement will be made in consultation with the religious Education Coordinator and Pastor.
