St. Paul’s Religious Education welcomes all children to our program.

 

 

It’s never too late to begin learning about your faith.

Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child’s earliest years…Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith.”  (CCC #2226)

Sacramental  Preparation

NOTE: St. Paul’s follows the diocesan requirements of two full, consecutive years of faith formation prior to celebrating the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation. If you have any questions, please contact the religious education office.

Preparation for First Communion is a 2-year preparation process.

Children must participate for two full, consecutive years in a Catholic school or parish religious education program prior to receiving the sacrament. Classroom preparation begins in 1st grade & continues through 2nd grade.

Preparation for Confirmation is a 2-year preparation process. Young people must have participated for two full, consecutive years in a Catholic school or parish religious education program prior to being confirmed in February.  Preparation begins in 6th grade and continues through 8th grade.

If your child is 8 years old or older and has not been Baptized or received First Communion, and you have not already spoken with Carol Burns, please contact the Religious Education office as soon as possible.
