This year, our students will meet at 9 AM at Sacred Heart for Religious Education. Students and their families will then attend the Sunday 10AM Mass at Sacred Heart Church together. Classes generally meet on the second and fourth Sunday of the month. 
    Many families with first graders do not realize that just as their child is ready to take the big step into first grade in elementary school, they also are ready to begin our Faith Formation Program. Our Parish curriculum helps them to begin to understand some of the more basic beliefs our the Catholic Faith and it is the crucial foundation as they advance into second grade and prepare for both Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
    Please call the parish office to obtain registration information if your child is new to our program. This applies to both first grade, and any grade level. Please note that preparation to receive First Holy Communion requires attendance at both the first and second grade level of our program.
     Classes for the 2024-2025 school year will begin on September 15th, 2024. Registration forms have been send out to both new and returning families with students in the parish.

 

Our Confirmation Preparation Program is a two year high school program. Classes generally meet twice per month on Sunday Mornings at Sacred Heart Church. Please call the parish office for complete information and requirements.

    The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is a process of initiation into the Catholic Community of Faith for those who are experiencing a conversion in their lives and seeking either Christian baptism in the Catholic Church or full Communion with the Catholic tradition of Eucharist and Confirmation.

   RCIA is a process that incorporates the study of the Gospels, Catholic Christian teaching; the acceptance of Christian values and morality; and the development and deepening of a life of prayer and action with the support and involvement of the local Christian community. The RCIA is more than a course of instruction. It is a process of conversion, designed to meet the unique and individual needs of the participants.

   Who is RCIA designed for?

• Non-Catholics who want to find out more about the Catholic Faith

• Those who want to join the Catholic Church through Baptism, or Profession of Faith

• Those who were baptized Catholic as infants but never received religious education, Confirmation, or First Eucharist.

•   How do I begin ?
  
  

• If you are interested, please make arrangements to speak with Father Peter about the process and where to start.

    Throughout the year Bible Study takes place at Saint Bridget Church at 7 PM in the Church Hall on the first and the third Thursday of each month.  All adults are welcome to explore the beauty of the written word and discuss meanings and how we can live the word of God in our lives.
