Religious Education Program

Registration for 2024-2025 Religious Education Program now is Open!!!

Dear Parents,

At St. John’s we believe that nurturing your child’s faith is a sacred journey—one that begins at home. We understand the demands of modern parenting and the importance of guiding your children through life’s many facets, including their spiritual growth.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that registration for Religious Education is now open for the upcoming school year. Whether your child is taking their first steps in faith or continuing their educational journey, our dedicated team is here to support and enrich their experience.

Once again we have chosen a program that is family oriented and can be incorporated into your busy schedule. The program is centered on the Sunday liturgy. Each child will receive a Catechism handbook, What the Church Believes and Teaches, plus 32 weekly Gospel-based lessons.  The Catechism handbook helps children to understand the basics of the Catholic faith while the weekly lessons help them apply the lessons to their daily lives. Pflaum, the publisher, provides you with a simple to use, two-page parent teaching guide for each lesson. Pflaum has wonderful online resources such as short videos that explain the Gospel stories, activities, games, assessments, which you may choose to use to enhance your learning experience.

The classes will meet the first, second and third Sunday of each month starting September 8th, 2024 and running throughout Spring. Classes are from 10:30 am to 12 noon  in the Religious Education building. The sacramental preparation classes (First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation) will have additional sessions.

Registering is easy. You can pick up registration forms after Mass or simply click this link Registration Form S J 24-25

For any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 804-737-8028 or email me at [email protected].

Together, let’s strengthen the foundation of faith in your family’s life. Join us in shaping a future filled with spiritual growth and community connection.

Warm regards,

Paulita Matheny, Director of Religious Education
