Religious Education
Program

 

 

All in-person programs are back! We look forward to a great year of faith formation.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSROOM BASED Grades 1-6
This option consists of traditional weekly classroom sessions that are held in the Saint Ann School building (except for grades 2, 7 & 8 which are held in the FDC). 
Families choose only one time:
Sundays 10:15 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Mondays 6:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.
 
Curriculum: Our RE program uses Our Sunday Visitor - Alive in Christ for grades 1-6 and Decision Point (Dynamic Catholic) for grades 7-8—confirmation prep.

REGISTRATION
Registration for the 2022-2023 RE (Religious Education)/GOF (Generations of Faith) year will be ongoing (through September 5).  Registration forms can be picked up at the FDC Welcome Desk.

CONFIRMATION PREP GRADES 7-8 
The components of our two-year confirmation prep program are oriented toward forming a relationship with God, faithful discipleship, responsible participation in the life and mission of the Church, and living one’s faith in the world. We do not focus on memorizing information, or on a checklist of requirements. Rather, we offer a comprehensive program that offers opportunities to grow in the Christian faith and learn from the richness of Catholic life. Participation in Sunday worship (Mass), liturgical rites, retreat (8th grade), and community service completes the curriculum.   Confirmation Prep meets in the FDC.  Families choose either traditional RE or family-based GOF to meet their needs.
