The classes, which are conducted by volunteer catechists, are enriched by prayer experiences and opportunities to offer help to others in the parish and local community. Preparation for the sacraments is parish and family centered. Parents are assisted in preparing their child for the celebrations of Eucharist and Reconciliation.
Emphasis is on small group discussion, which helps the young people put learning into action.
This format helps our youth develop community, even as they deepen their understanding of what it means to follow Jesus today. The high school students are invited to participate in the Diocesan Youth Congress. The program includes study, prayer, an away retreat and service to the community. To register for any of these programs, call the Religious Education Office, which is located in Nativity House. The Religious Education Board provides coordination and active involvement in accomplishing the Religious Education Programs and Activities for those whose academic instruction happens in the Public School System.
