2026-2027 Religious Education Program


Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our hope is that the time your children spend with us will help them to grow in their knowledge and love of Jesus Christ. Of course, the greatest influencer of your child’s faith is YOU! Children learn what they live, so they look to you to learn how to talk and listen to God in prayer, how to worship Him at Mass and how to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. You are their first teachers in the faith, so we are here to support you! To that end, we are pleased to offer the following Religious Education program.


This year, we have been invited by Bishop Williams to pilot a new offering for parents that he hopes to expand throughout the diocese. Alpha is an 11-week series that encourages honest conversations about life and faith while helping participants develop and deepen their relationship with Jesus. To accommodate this pilot program, we will be offering weekly Sunday Families of Faith sessions during the fall. This option will include Mass, breakfast, grade-level classes for students, and the Alpha series for parents.


Participation in the program includes two required components:


1) Weekly attendance at Sunday Mass and Holy Days
2) Attending instructional sessions through one of the options listed below:


A. Summer Session
Family Mass and Retreat on Sunday, July 12 from 9am-12pm
Classes on July 13-16 and 20-23 from 7:50am-1:00pm

Families who participate in our Summer Session must also attend four family sessions on Sunday mornings at 10am during the school year. You can choose any four of the following dates: Sept 20, Dec 13, Jan 10, Feb 7, March 14, May 16. You may attend either the 9am Mass before the session or 11am Mass after the session.
