As an alternative to our regularly scheduled Religious Education program (which takes place in the fall during the regular school year), we offer a two-week program in the summer for children entering 3rd through 7th grade the following fall. The Summer Intensive program for 2023 will take place June 12th through June 23rd. The program runs from 9am until noon, weekdays only. The 2023 Registration Form will be accessible here at a later date.
The seed of a rich and deep spirituality is present within each child. In their earliest years, children grow in relationship with God and understanding of their faith. It is our mission to help parents in their responsibility to nurture their children's faith. Faith is based not only on an intellectual understanding of doctrine, but also on a conversion of the heart (adopting a way of life).
We proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God through prayer, education, service, social activities, and worship. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we respond to Christ's call to "come follow Me" and carry on His teaching mission. We follow Jesus' example of teaching what to believe and then showing how to put those beliefs into practice.
Our purpose is to assist parents in:
We also have a process in place to initiate children and young teens who have not been baptized and/or have had no formal religious education. The process normally takes at least two years to lead them into an experience of conversion and prepare them to celebrate the initiation sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.
This is not a rigid program, but a process that is meant to be adapted according to the spiritual and educational needs and progress of the child. Children, with their parents and catechists, meet in small groups on a schedule that best fits their calendars. They progress through periods of preparation looking to Easter Vigil as the highpoint of their journey with the reception of the sacraments.
