Registration for 2015-16 Religious Education Class is due back on Monday, June 1, 2015. You can drop it off to the Parish Center or bring it with you to Sunday Mass and leave it with Liz in the office in the back of the Church.
We ask that you please register early, so that we can prepare classes for September.  With over 470 students in our program, we want to be sure that you can be a part of our growing program. 

If you know of anyone who has a child going into Grade 1, please let them know that now is the time to register their child for Religious Ed Classes. Anyone who has been away from Religious Ed and has missed a year or two, should also come in to register so that we can be help you to get caught up and continue with faith formation.

You can download the Registration forms from our webpage by clicking on the links on the right (under the picture of the Church)

Registration for 1st Holy Communion and Confirmation will be mailed home next week. 

In addition to having the building ready for our students, we need to be sure that each classroom has a catechist to share the faith with each student.


We Need You to Share Your Gifts & Talents
One of the main roles of the Church is to provide religious education to those who seek it and we are so blessed to have so many students in our program searching to grow closer to Jesus. We need your help and support to provide quality religious education and provide the best classroom experience possible for our 470 students. We are looking for people who are willing to serve and share their faith. We will equip you with the tools to help you pass on the faith and to help the students in your class. If you feel called to be a catechist, please prayerfully consider taking on this important role. If you have any questions or are interested in teaching, please contact Anthony Armando.
