PRE-SCHOOL AGES 3 TO GRADE 1: Classes are held on Sunday mornings during the 9:15 & 11:00 am masses. Children become more aware of God's love for them through Bible stories, songs and activities. Grades 2 to 6: Classes are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at 6:30 pm Grade 7: Class is held at 11:00 am on Sunday mornings. One half of the semester is a sexual morality class, and the other half of the semester is religion class. Grade 8 & High School: Classes are held on Sundays at 7:00 pm Adult Religious Education: Special spiritual and personal growth opportunities are available to adults in the parish through the participation in Bible Study classes, small group discussion, and prayer groups. Special courses and missions are usually offered during Advent and Lent. Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults: Any adult interested in becoming a member of the Catholic Church, please contact the parish office and let us know who you are. Coordinator of this special process is Deacon Chester Ostaszewski. The R.C.I.A. is a process that invites the baptized and unbaptized, non-Catholic and Catholic adults, who have questions about Catholicism, to "Come and See..." with others who may have similar questions. The process is individualized as much as possible to meet one's needs and life experiences; it is celebrated both by the individual and the parish community. An individual progresses along stages based upon personal readiness, pastoral, and community approval leading to baptism for full communion with the Catholic Church.
