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.
