Kindergarten – 5th Grade Religious Education Registration
Religious Education is our Children’s Faith Formation for students in Elementary School (Kindergarten-5th grade) and prepares students for a relationship with Christ. Each year builds upon the last as children learn to walk with Jesus.
The cost is $250 per disciple in the making. (early bird rate of $230 until 6/30 for RE or homeschool) Catechists receive free tuition and Tuition Assistance is available for families in need. Non-parishioner rate: $300
Registration:
New for 2024-2025! Summer Intensive: a two-week program Monday-Friday, June 10-21, 2024 from 9:00 am-2:00 pm. Open to students entering 3rd-5th grade in Fall 2024. Cost: $250
Religious Education: meets Tuesday afternoons at 4:30 pm-5:45 pm -or- 6:30 pm-7:45 pm with classes beginning in September and ending in April. The Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are typically received in 2nd grade. These sacraments require a two-year preparation period. We welcome students in older grade levels to receive the Sacraments if they were unable to receive them in 2nd grade. Older Sacrament Students will complete their grade level formation in person in addition to at-home study for Reconciliation and Eucharist Preparation.
Family Formation (homeschool): We understand that the classroom model is not ideal for all families. We offer a homeschool option at the same cost for those who prefer at-home learning. Homeschool families are encouraged to attend our monthly Family Faith Nights and Encounter events throughout the year.
Open Doors Ministry:
Open Doors provides faith formation for individuals and families with special needs. This includes adaptive programming and inclusion to prepare children in need of accommodations for the Sacraments.
We welcome all learners and seek to offer access to our Faith for everyone. You can register for Open Doors through the Religious Education Registration Form. If you have any questions, contact: Kathryn Coughlin [email protected]
