The Religious Education program at our parish works diligently with students to instruct them on matters of the faith and have them prepared for the reception of Sacraments. We offer classes for students enrolled in 1st grade through 11th grade. Our first day of Classes is Sunday, August 18, 2024. Classes in English are held every Sunday from 9:00am to 10:30am at San Felipe School. Classes in Spanish are held every Tuesday from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at Salazar Hall (Duranes).
* Students in 1st and 2nd grade learn their basic Catholic prayers and are instructed in the importance of a relationship with God through fun activities.
* Students in 3rd grade are instructed on the importance of the Sacraments of the Church. During this time we work with students to prepare them to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist (Communion).
Note: Students must complete two years of Religious Education to receive both Sacraments.
* Students that have received their First Reconciliation and Eucharist are enrolled in our Post- Communion class. This class is an age appropriate exploration of the Bible and how it relates to our Catholic tradition. Students in this class are usually enrolled in 4th through 7th grade.
* Students who are in 8th or 9th grade, are enrolled in first year Confirmation class. During their first year, students are introduced to a religious life and their relationship to the Church.
Note: Students must complete two years of Religious Education to receive Confirmation.
* Students who have completed their first year of Confirmation class are enrolled in the second year of the program. The second year of confirmation is centered on engagement with the Church and a basic theological understanding of the faith and receive the actual Sacrament.
