RELIGIOUS EDUCATION/CCD CLASSES

Classes are held in the church hall for all students in Preschool through 8th grade on Sunday mornings from 8:30-9:20AM. Students then attend the 9:30AM Mass. Second grade prepares for First Reconciliation / First Holy Communion and Eighth grade prepares for Confirmation. Students actively participate in a monthly Youth Family Mass. All are welcome to attend and give our program a try!

Our teachers and aides make learning the Catholic faith interesting and fun. We even have special Sundays with crafts, activities, music and games!

There are NO FEES to register thanks to the generosity of our parishioners. All textbooks, workbooks, supplies and more are paid for by the parish.
