Religious Education

---

Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church's Religious Education program is designed to educate the children of our Parish on how to live and practice their Catholic faith at home, in the Parish, and in the community. The classes not only educate children about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but also prepare children to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation (Confession), Eucharist (Holy Communion) and Confirmation.

The program is open to children in Kindergarten through High School and are held from September through April each year. More details are listed below. 

​What is the cost to attend the RE Program?

All siblings in a family MUST register and attend classes, not just students who need to receive Sacraments. If all siblings are not registered, none will be considered registered. The cost to participate in the Faith Formation/Sacramental Preparation is:

• $40 for 1 child
• $10 for each additional child
  

The tuition/fees are needed to pay for the books and learning resources. A set date for text book/resources will be arranged for pick up before classes begin.

Parent Responsibilities:

• Parents must participate in lesson overview/orientations.
• It is important to develop a routine of prayer, intentional conversation and bible reading with your family! The "Faith at Home" element will help your children grow up understanding their faith. It also is how you can fulfill the promises that you made at your child's baptism.
• Create a learning space for your child that has minimal distraction. Make sure it has good lighting, a comfortable place to sit and a place for them to spread out their learning material.
• Set a weekly schedule (day/time)/routine for you and your children to go over the assigned RE lessons.
• Notify the catechist about your child’s absence.
• Attend Mass weekly.

Student Responsibilities:

• Student attendance will be taken for all classes.
