About our Program
The Religious Education program will meet in person on Tuesday’s from 3:30-4:45 PM in the Academy building for the 2023-2024 Academic year. We serve children in Grades 1-8 and accompany them on their journey to begin and strengthen their relationship with Jesus and with one another. Our sacrament preparation programs are two years. Each child making First Penance and First Communion in the second-grade must begin instruction in first grade. We begin preparation for Confirmation in the seventh grade with Christian service. The Confirmation candidates complete their lessons, the Rite of Enrollment, their interviews and retreat in the eighth grade.
