Elementary Religious Education

When Jesus commissioned the Apostles to "go…and make disciples of all nations…." (Mt 28:19), He entrusted each of us with both the privileges and responsibilities of bringing the word of God to those we encounter in our lives. Parents, first and foremost, begin this important task when they bring their child forward to receive the gift of faith through Baptism. They are their child's first teachers, nurturing faith within their homes, a place so special that the Second Vatican Council refers to it as the "domestic church."

The community of St. Thérèse recognizes and shares in this important ministry by providing a formal program of religious education and sacrament preparation to support parents and their children. Weekly instruction usually begins at the age of five or six, with two years of preparation preceding the reception of the sacraments of Reconciliation, Holy Eucharist, typically celebrated in 2^nd grade and Confirmation,  typically celebrated in 10^th grade.
