We're GROWING and We Need YOU!

Religious Education Program Stats for the 2014-15 School Year:

We had 274 students attend classes on Sunday mornings and 147 students on Tuesday afternoons for a total of 421 students in Grades K-8.  

We had 92 students receive the Sacraments of First Penance and First Holy Communion and 52 Candidates receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

We had 30 Catechists, 2 Adult Teacher Aides and 13 Youth Aides who shared their time and talents with the children and families of our program.  

Our catechists are the heart of our program and we are so grateful for the time and talent that they give to the children of our parish.


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 at the Parish Center or by email: armandoa@stmarysnutley.org
