Religious Education Program Information

St. Patrick Church is using the Loyola press "Christ Our Life"  2023 program starting this year. This program offers family resources and catechist resources online, which is a wonderful opportunity for everyone in our program. 
 

We are meeting Sunday's 8:30am - 9:45am or Monday's 4:30 p.m. - 5:45 p.m. Monday. Please check the Religious Education calendar.

​

Basic elements of the faith are taught at all grade levels with emphasis on the above topics at specific levels. Our textbooks start with the basics of the faith and sacraments and grows with the students.

​

It is important for students to attend each year to receive a complete education in the basics of our faith.  Spiritual growth as well as Christian community building are important aspects of each year.  Each grade level also decides on a social outreach project to teach our students Catholic Social Teaching.

​

Please note that incoming 8th grade students are no longer part of the Religious Education program. All incoming 8th graders will be participating in the first year of our Confirmation program. For more information about our Confirmation program please click here.
