Catholic school students are required to receive the sacraments in the parish where the family is registered. Students and their parents are expected to attend all sacramental preparation sessions. These students are also welcome to attend any general group meetings. All catechists are volunteers from the parish community who are willing to share their faith with the young. Each catechist prepares a weekly lesson plan, participates in scheduled meetings with the Director of Religious Education and attends periodic workshops when possible.
Catechists depend on the parish for support, prayer, and cooperation.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults R.C.I.A. is implemented in our parish by a team that assists all those who seek formal membership in the Catholic Church. The team guides those persons interested through a process that prepares them to be received into the Church at the annual Easter Vigil. The Religious Education Office has a collection of videos, audiotapes, and books available to parishioners for borrowing. As an outgrowth of the Renew process, there are several small groups meeting at various times and places during the year. They are open to all who are interested.
