Mission Statement

Our religious education program is dedicated to the formation of the Catholic life of our youth by proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and action. We will share our faith and love of our Church with our children. In partnership with their parents we will lay the foundation of a life of faith and service to God and His Holy People.
 

Program Information
    We provide formal religious education and sacrament preparation for the children of our parish in grades one to eight that do not attend Catholic school. The program aids parents in their role as the primary educator of their children in the Catholic faith and is a supplement to Sunday Mass. Weekly sessions help students to connect with a community of their Catholic peers and to reinforce the basics of our faith.
    Sacraments are received in the second year of preparation. The Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist are celebrated in 2nd grade. The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in 8th grade.
    Classes will meet on Monday evenings from 6 – 7:30 P.M. at the St. Jude site. Parents will attend several sessions during the year with their child. For more information contact Marsha Johnson, Coordinator of Religious Education at (708) 333-3550.

St. Mary's Press has generously offered Christ Our Savior families free access to their Kids' Liturgy, a digitally-led Children's Liturgy of the Word program.
 Parents can log in using any internet-connected device and engage their children in the included children's songs, a gospel reading, an active reflection, and prayer for a full liturgical experience.
By presenting the Word in a format and language that children can understand, we can continue to strengthen their faith and enliven the whole church community—even as we are apart.
