Elementary Religious  Education

RE is open to children, PK4 through 6th grade.  Sessions take place in our Multipurpose Building.  In the classroom children experience a planned lesson which includes Scripture, catechesis in faith formation, prayer, and a related craft or activity.   Throughout the year we participate in various service projects, including food drive, Lenten almsgiving, spring clean up, etc.  At least once a semester, the children attend Mass in the main Church with the youth from JSAY & SAY, to learn how the community of faith and the Mystical Body of Christ work in their lives. All parents/guardians are welcome and encouraged to join us for Mass. We also have several other prayer and liturgical services throughout the year that parents are encouraged to attend with your children.

CLASS TIME: Wednesdays, 6:00-7:30PM following the BISD calendar for breaks and holidays..

The curriculum we use is Alive in Christ (1st - 6th grades) and Allelu! (PreK - Kinder) by OSV. There are links to the Alive in Christ website with fantastic resources for families to begin and continue the faith formation process at home. If your child misses a class, there are home lessons to get them caught up. If you don't know the answer to a question, there are resources to help you learn so you can help your children learn.

Most of all, be present to your children as they journey in their faith life. Help them to become friends with Jesus Christ. Bring them to Mass, help them learn the Mass. Bring them to faith formation classes, help them to participate fully in their faith. We are your partners in the faith formation of your children.

Little Blessings

In order to provide faith formation opportunities for adults a Nursery, Two's, and Three's Room will be available for children not yet of age for "formal formation."  Children will explore fun bible truths nurturing children physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  Music and play time will fill this loving environment!

This is a free service, provided to our catechists and those parents who are actively attending any Adult Religious Education session!
