Program Expectations: 

• Weekly: As Catholic Christians, we are required by the 3rd commandment and the 1st Precept of the Church to participate at Mass every weekend. Liturgy of the Word Dismissal: is open to all children ages 4-12 during Mass on Sundays. Children are dismissed after the Opening Prayer to hear the Word of God on their own level and return before the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

• All Religious Education Famlies are encouraged to attend the Advent and Lenten Penance and Reconciliation services for the entire parish. First Penance and Reconciliation for 2nd grade families occur yearly during Advent. Although 1st graders do not celebrate individual penance, their families are welcomed and encouraged to do so at this service.

• Each family is expected to participate in intergenerational events throughout the school year. Each student must complete a certain amount of  intergenerationals and hand in the signed paperwork at the end of the school year. More details are outlined on the Intergenerational web-page HERE.
