Grades Pre K-5
Religious Education (RE) is a parish faith formation program for children in Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade who do not attend St. Therese School. The program provides religious instruction and helps children grow in their Catholic faith through age-appropriate lessons and activities.
Classes meet on Wednesdays from 6:00–7:15 p.m., beginning in September and continuing through May.
Children in 2nd grade who are enrolled in either St. Therese School or the Religious Education (RE) program will prepare to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
