Religious Education -for children 3 years old by Sept. 1st.
Classes meet Sundays during the 8:30 and 11:00 Mass times. Through
the structure of their class, children learn the pattern of the Mass
--gathering, singing, praying together and hearing Sunday’s
scripture stories. The scripture comes alive for children through
music, crafts, activities and their weekly publication "Seeds" from Pflaum Publications (www.pflaum.com).
Elementary and Middle School
–Religion classes are available for kindergarten through 8th grade
on Sundays or Wednesdays. The textbook used for these grades is
“Christ our Life”, published by Loyola Press (
www.loyolapress.com). |
