About the Religious Ed Program


Our Religious Education Program strives to catechize our children through sharing the basic elements of our Catholic faith. Our classes are held weekly for preschool through 6th grade on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday afternoons. We offer Family Faith Formation on Wednesday evenings from mid-fall through April.  If your family is unable to  join us for  any of these classes with offer the option of Home Study. Please see "Home Study", "Family Faith Formation" and "Religious Education Calendar" for more information about each individual option.

All classes are held at the St. Thomas Pierson St. Campus. (See link to map below) Class hours are:
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons: 4:30pm to 5:45pm
Wednesday evening Family Faith Formation: 6:00-8:00PM (Twice a month most months)

Our program includes sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion.
Sacramental formation for First Reconciliation and First Communion is a 2-year process. The first year of formation typically begins in 1st Grade. Options for preparation for older children are available. We require that all First Communicants submit a copy of their Baptismal certificate. 

If you have any questions about registration or special needs, please don't hesitate to contact us!
