SUNDAY <strong>SCHOOL</strong> OF RELIGION<br />
Sunday School of Religion Introduction<br />
The Sunday School of<br />
Religion provides religious<br />
education for children from<br />
Kindergarten through 8 th grade<br />
who do not attend a Catholic<br />
School. It also provides<br />
instruction for the Sacraments of<br />
First Reconciliation and First<br />
Eucharist and supports parents as<br />
they work to prepare their<br />
children for this important<br />
milestone.<br />
School of Religion Catechists<br />
The School of Religion is<br />
blessed with its excellent catechist<br />
volunteers! This school year, 20<br />
catechists, seven assistant<br />
catechists, and seven helpers<br />
brought religion to life for our students. Most<br />
have been teaching in the program for more<br />
than 10 years, and some for more than 20 years!<br />
We're always looking for new catechists, so we<br />
invite you to get “hooked” on spreading the<br />
Good News by volunteering! To learn more<br />

School of Religion Program<br />
This year 272 students registered for the<br />
Sunday School of Religion to explore “What<br />
Catholics Believe,” “How Catholics Worship,” “How<br />
Catholics Live,” and “How Catholics Pray” using<br />
the religion series Blest Are We. We also<br />
explored the dignity of human life, Catholic<br />
morality, and family relationships through our<br />
Family Life catechesis book, Growing In Love.<br />
Our goal is to help students make good<br />
decisions, build healthy relationships, and stay<br />
safe. We presented the material from a Catholic<br />
values perspective in a sensitive and<br />
First-graders hard at work at Sunday School of Religion.<br />
age-appropriate manner. We also worshipped<br />
together at class Masses, and celebrated the<br />
sacrament of Reconciliation at least once during<br />
the year.<br />
Service is another important feature of<br />
the School of Religion. To help our sister<br />
parish, Immaculate Conception on Mosher<br />
Street, we collected canned goods and Giant<br />
gift cards at Thanksgiving, and clothing and<br />
toys at Christmas. During Lent, we collected<br />
money in the Lenten boxes for the Holy<br />
Childhood Association.<br />
Winter Bingo<br />
Christmas Bingo is the Sunday School<br />
of Religion’s annual fund-raiser. It was a fun<br />
evening for all ages that included dinner, bingo,<br />
and raffle baskets. Thanks to all who supported<br />
our program by donating prizes and attending<br />
the event!
