Registration for 2023-2024 is NOW OPEN

As parents, our most important task is to guide our children toward Heaven. The Office of Parish Faith Formation is here to support you in that task by providing quality religious instruction and opportunities for spiritual growth. The Parish Religious Education Programs are for children of the parish in Grades 1–8 who attend a public, private, or home school other than Saint Theresa. Children should attend one of the two programs offered, either the Traditional Program or the Family Program.

The TRADITIONAL PROGRAM (formerly called CCD) runs from September to May. Classes are held in the school. 

• Grades 1–5 meet Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m.–7:45 p.m.
• Grades 6–8 meet Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m.–8:00 p.m.

In addition to following a Bible-based curriculum, Grades 2 and 8 receive preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.

The FAMILY PROGRAM runs from September to May. Classes are held in the school.

• Grades 1-8 (children and parents) meet one Sunday evening a month from 6:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m. 

Each unit of the curriculum contains two lessons. The first lesson is covered when the families meet for classes. For the first hour of class, children go to grade-appropriate classes while parents stay and receive information on presenting  the lessons. The last half hour is spent with parents and children together for a faith building lesson or activity. Parents then complete the unit at home with the child.
