Classes, held both at our Parish Center and in neighboring homes, are offered within different time
slots during the week and on Sundays. Our classes begin mid-September and end in May.

All elementary grade level programs incorporate three elements: (1) Age-appropriate curriculum, (2)
Christian Service and (3) liturgical and spiritual formation. Classes usually include from six to ten
children. Our Middle School children are also offered a program on substance abuse.

Our First Eucharist program is a two year program, usually offered in grades 1&2. We offer a family
catechesis program for the parents of our second graders, giving families the opportunity to both
explore their own faith development and to help their children to prepare for the reception of
Reconciliation and First Eucharist. The sacrament of Reconciliation is generally offered to second
graders during Advent, and First Eucharist is celebrated at several Masses during May.
