Our Religious Education Program educates and provides the spiritual development of children in grades one through eight. Children also receive instruction and preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist (second grade) and Confirmation (eighth grade). The program includes hands on instruction in small classes, retreats, and other experiences throughout the year. Instruction and certification is available for the teachers who volunteer and assistants are always needed and welcome.
Volunteer Opportunity: Volunteers are always welcome to assist as catechists, aides, office help, or at special functions such as our Sacrament preparation events and our Silver Tea and Tastes of Heaven fundraisers.
