Religious Education Classes

 Religious Education classes are for children in elementary grades  1-8.
We meet September to May on the first, second and third Tuesday of each month from 6:30 – 8:00, taking the fourth Tuesday off for catechetical formation.

Curriculum  

Level 1 – 6      Be My Disciple           -RCLBenziger

These lessons build on the previous years of catechesis forming a gradual process through which children are led to a greater understanding of the basics and identification to Catholicism. This journey invites your young disciple into a relationship with the living presence of Christ uniting them with the worshipping Church and community.
A Family page will come home from every lesson.

 Jr. High    Connect Series  RCL Benziger

Active lessons involve young teens in uncovering concepts of our faith and discovering what it means to be Catholic. Four themes are studied in small group workshops each year.  By the completion of JH all eight themes will have prepared these young people for the Sacrament of Confirmation.  Their final year of formation will follow JH.

This year’s themes are: Trinity & the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Sacraments & Prayer, Who is Jesus and Morality & Sexuality

Next year we will cover: Being Catholic, The New Testament, Creed and Peace & Justice.

Scripture   
Sunday readings for the following weekend are incorporated into every lesson. 
Children’s Worship Bulletins are studied in levels 1-6 and sent home for families to share.

LTP Celebrating the Lectionary is used in junior high to make a connection between scripture and life as a young teen.
