Fall Grades 1-7 Home Study
Children complete lessons at home and do not meet for class in-person, although there is an in-person component built into the program through the Passport book.
Program Requirements
Families who have children with special learning needs, or regularly encounter difficulties with transportation caused by parental work schedules, may opt for the home study program.
Please call the Religious Education Office BEFORE completing the online registration form to discuss your needs and whether at home instruction is the best option to meet them.

Growing with God

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.
