The ministry of religious education, for Catholic children of pre-Kindergarten (age four) through eighth grade who do not attend Catholic schools, helps form our children in faith and for those children preparing to receive First Holy Communion.
Each session begins with snack time from 3:45 to 4:00 PM, followed by classes held in the school classrooms from 4:00 to 5:15 PM. The registration fee covers books, materials, insurance, and stipends for the catechists.
For more information, please contact Michelle O’Donnell, the Director Religious Education, or Mitchell Lord, Religious Education Administrative Assistant.
RCIA for Children and Their Parents (Sundays)
The “Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) Adapted for Children and Their Parents” is a liturgical and educational experience of growing in faith for children, eight years and older, who have not yet been baptized or who were baptized but have not yet made their First Communion. We meet on Sundays alternating in the morning and the evening.
- Sundays, please contact Michelle O’Donnell for upcoming meeting times.
- Children and their parents meet together
- Minimum Age: 8 years old
The children, accompanied by their parents, learn what it means to be young Catholics as they prepare for Baptism, Reconciliation, and Eucharist. Age-appropriate lessons and guidance draw on the spiritual experience the children already have and provide them with the foundations of the Catholic faith upon which they can grow.
For more information about RCIA for Children and their Parents, please contact Michelle O’Donnell, the Director of Religious Education.
