Our Religious Education program provides resources to enable and empower parents as primary catechists to their children and seeks to help every child encounter Jesus. We offer a weekly program during the school year to assist in forming children in grades 1-8, with resources to educate, inform and teach parents to embrace their role as primary catechists.
Registration forms have been mailed to all current families registered in our program. New to our program? Please contact the parish office for more information!
An online registration form will be posted soon!
The Archdiocese of Detroit Curriculum was implemented this year using “Christ Our Life” by Loyola Press. Designed to have student Encounter, Grow, and Witness Jesus, the program is rich in content of Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with emphasis on the New Evangelization.
Family Involvement: At the end of every chapter and unit, there are assignments for students to bring the faith home! Features include fun family challenges, celebration of baptismal anniversaries, and ways to help build the Catholic identity in everyday family life.

First Holy Communion is a 2-year required program that begins in the Year 1. Children are normally prepared to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) and Holy Communion during Year 2.
Confirmation is a 2-year required program that begins in the 7th grade. Students are prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation during the spring of Confirmation Year 2.
We require that students complete this preparation by attending our Religious Education Program.
Sacramental Out-of-Sequence: If you have a child who has not been baptized, is older than 2nd grade and has not received his or her first Holy Communion, or is older than 15 and has not been confirmed, please contact the Religious Education office to make the appropriate arrangements.
As we are having virtual classes, no snow days or emergency days are expected. If/when we return in-person sessions, additional information will be communicated at that time.
