Your home is the domestic church and as parents, you are your child’s first educators of the faith. You take them to Mass, you pray together as a family, and you share your love of Jesus with them. Formal religious education is also a part of your child’s faith formation, especially when preparing for the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation.
Our trained catechists have years of experience in the classroom and are parents also, so they understand the demands families have on them. They share their love of Christ with the children while teaching them the truth and beauty which is our Catholic faith.
Registration is now open for the 2023-2024 school year. Just download the registration and medical forms from this page and bring or mail them to the parish office. We also need a copy of your child’s Baptismal certificate the first year they join our program.
If you have any questions, please contact our DRE, Leslie Swayze at ljswayze@yahoo.com

Catechism (Religious Education) is on Tuesday's from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. from September through April. We begin with prayer in church, students will be escorted to their classrooms by their catechist and dismissed from the school building. Please use the parking lot behind the school when picking up your child. Open House and final registration is tentatively set for Tuesday, Sept. 12th at 6:00 p.m. in the school hall. Regular classes will start September 19. The full calendar will be posted when it becomes available. You are asked to download the forms and mail them in, along with payment, prior to the start date. This will allow us to plan the classes appropriately and have the necessary materials on hand. The catechism office is in the single story building near the lobby entrance off the parking lot. ATTENTION PARENTS OF CHILDREN ENTERING 1st AND 7th GRADE: First and seventh grade Religious Education is required before a child can enter into the 2nd or 8th grade sacramental year. Parents with children of this age please be sure to register your 1st and 7th grader for Religious Education class this year. If your child is preparing for a Sacrament and attended the previous year at another Parish or in a Catholic School other than St. Mary, you will need to supply a letter from that Parish or School. The letter must state the students name, grade, year, number of classes attended, number of classes absent and that the student received Sacrament preparation classes during that time for the specific Sacrament they are seeking.
