Fall Grades 1-7 In-Person Program
Classes meet from September to May on Tuesdays OR Wednesdays from 4:30pm-6pm every other
week. Children attend ONE day every other week. See CALENDAR
Program Requirements
During in-class sessions, your child will be instructed by a trained volunteer catechist using the Finding God curriculum, a multi-media platform for religious instruction.
Children learn the essential teachings of the Catholic faith, like the nature of God and humanity’s relationship with God, the life and mission of Jesus, the story of Salvation History, the Sacraments, the Mass, the structure and mission of the Church, and common prayers as well as how the Church nurtures their personal relationship with God, having Jesus at the center of their lives, which are animated and sustained by the Holy Spirit.

Growing with God
(yearly)
Completion of this a 5-page (double-sided) worksheet packet is required of all children in grades 1-6 by the Diocese of Trenton as part of the Parish Safe Environment Program. To access and print this handout, click here.
We have produced a series of videos that will help your children to do these lessons. They can be found here.
Passport Book
(only 5 stamps are required for the whole year)
Being Catholic means far more than participating at Mass and in Religious Education classes. It is a lifestyle choice that involves the whole person. Our Passport program offers the opportunities to experience what it means to live our Catholic identity. To learn more about the Passport book, click here.
Mass Reflection Sheet
(monthly)
Weekly participation at Holy Mass is expected of all our Religious Education families. Mass Reflections provide the children with the opportunity to think about and express their experience at least once each month. To print two copies of this document, click here .
Domestic Church Project
(monthly)
Catholic families have always been thought of as "the church of the home" when they live and grow in their Catholic faith together. These simple projects help families express at home what it means to be a Domestic Church.
Each month a new project will be listed on the calendar. You can print it from there and then do it together as a family.
