Catechesis is a responsibility of the entire Christian community. This is should not be the work of catechists and priests alone, but of the whole community of the faithful. The Christian community follows the development of catechetical processes, for children, young people and adults, as a duty that involves and binds it directly. (GDC 220) A fully Christian community can exist only when a systematic catechesis of all its members takes place and when an effective and well developed catechesis of adults is regarded as the central task of the catechetical enterprise.” (ACCC, no. 25).

For Grades 3 - 8, students can choose between attending classes during the weeknight or participating in our Homeschool program, either the online or paper option. For the homeschool online program, you receive the book, the Master Catechist chapter videos, and the links to the online test assessments. For the homeschool paper program, you receive the book, do the test assessment in the book, and return the test via email or place it in the dropoff box located outside the Parish Center entrance.

The preparation for Confirmation is a two year program (CY1 and CY2), held at the Parish Center, with students beginning in Grade 9 and then receiving Confirmation in Grade 10. To enroll in the Confirmation program, students must have completed 8 years of Faith Formation, either by religious education through their Parish or by attending a Catholic School.
