Religious education for 2009-10 should follow the same lines as last year. Pre-k through 9th grade follow one schedule; grade 10 follows another. See below.

OVERVIEW FOR PRE-K THROUGH 9th GRADERS 2009-2010

Pre-k and kindergarten classes meet during the 10:30 am. Mass. First through ninth grades meet 9:15-10:15 am. The diocesan standard for formal instruction is 25 or more hours. For holiday weeks our habit is to not hold classes the opening Sunday of the holiday and to hold class on the closing Sunday of that week.

OVERVIEW FOR 10th GRADERS for 2009-10

After an opening session in September, 10th grade students tend to meet bimonthly, 11:30 am-1 pm., through April. The fall and January classes focus on Catholic social justice teachings and discipleship; the spring semester focuses on sacramental preparation. Service and a retreat complete the period of discernment and preparation. The Sacrament of Confirmation is usually received in October of the 11th grade.
