Pre-K and K Catechesis: The first formal catechesis begins with our 4 year old religious education program. In the Pre-School Program, the children celebrate God's gift of life; focus on sharing, forgiving, growing; and are introduced to a God who loves them very much.

Grades 1 - 8: The children grow and continue to be formed in gospel values and in their understanding and appreciation of what our worshipping community is through participation in class, prayer, liturgy, and service activities.

The student is expected to make attendence at Religious Education class a top priority in his/her life. Students are expected to be prompt, attentive, respectful, and participative. All students 1-8 are required to complete 30 hours of religious study each school year.
