Home Program
This option is available for 1st - 5th grade families wishing to teach their children at home.  Parents and child/children are to attend at least two Family Night events.

Sacramental Programs
Reconciliation and First Communion
All sacrament programs require attendance and participation in Faith Formation classes one year prior to the sacrament.  Parents and children must attend sacramental meetings, classes and retreat.

Family Fun Nights
Each month during the school year, we offer a Family Night for our families with children in grades 1 - 5.  Each of these events usually include a simple dinner with a project, community service, movie, or something else that is fun for everyone.


Can you help?
We are always in need of catechists and substitute catechists and classroom aides for our religious education classes.  If you are able to volunteer some of your time, please contact Janis Pataky.

Thank you for your consideration!
