Registration for 2026-2027 is NOW OPEN

As parents, our most important task is to guide our children toward Heaven. The Office of Parish Faith Formation is here to support you in that task by providing quality religious instruction and opportunities for spiritual growth. The Parish Religious Education Programs are for children of the parish in Grades 1–8 who do not attend St Theresa School. There are two program options available.

The TRADITIONAL PROGRAM (Wednesday evenings) runs from September to May. Classes are held in the school. 

• Grades 1–5 meet Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m.–7:45 p.m.
• Grades 6–8 meet Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m.–8:00 p.m.

 
In addition to following a Bible-based curriculum, Grades 2 and 8 receive preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.

The FAMILY PROGRAM (Sunday, Monthly) runs from September to May. Classes are held in the school.

• Grades 1-8 (children and parents) meet one Sunday evening a month from 6:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m. 

Each unit of the curriculum contains two lessons. The first lesson is covered when children attend grade appropriate class with a catechist.  At the same time, parents meet to receive information on presenting the second lesson at home.
