Our preschool program is designed to help four and five year olds develop a relationship with Jesus. The program is scheduled during 10:00 am Sunday liturgy. A child must be four or five on or before September 1 of the current year to enroll.
Elementary
Grades 1 through 6 are offered to compliment and strengthen the faith formation that the child is receiving at home with the parents or guardians. There is a special emphasis on preparation of the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Family participation in weekly Sunday Mass along with the celebration of these sacraments, prayers, and ongoing Catholic faith study deepens their relationship with Christ and our parish community. Classes are offered on Monday and Wednesday evenings.
Special Needs
Depending on the number of requests, a special needs class is offered to children ages 6 to 17 who are mentally and/or physically challenged. The program is scheduled on Sunday at 11:15 am.
Junior High & High School
Continuing with the vision of lifelong catechesis, this level works to foster the total personal, religious, and spiritual growth of each young person. There is special emphasis on morality, communication, relationships, and preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Classes are offered on Sunday mornings and Monday evenings.
