Religious Education
Religious Education
The parish is the center of faith formation for Catholics. Every person, every Catholic in our parish community…child or adult…is on their own journey toward Christ and a life of discipleship.
Registration for the program is open only to the children of families registered at St. Mary Parish.
For children preparing for the reception of First Holy Communion, it is expected that they be enrolled in a two-year preparation program beginning in the First Grade. First Confession and First Communion are generally celebrated in the spring of Second Grade. A First Communion Retreat is also required.
For the Sacrament of Confirmation, it is likewise expected that children be enrolled in a two-year preparation program beginning in the Seventh Grade. A mandatory Confirmation Retreat is also required of all candidates. The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the fall of Ninth Grade.
All children are expected to be enrolled each and every year, K-8, in order to be eligible for the reception of the Sacraments. Catholic School students are exempt from this requirement.

And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you;
I am with you always, to the close of the age."
