OUR LADY OF LOURDES
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Early Childhood religious education is offered for children ages four and five. Classes are held in St. Bernadette Hall during the 10 a.m. Sunday Mass.     Our Sunday Visitor, I Am Special series is designed to support parents in educating their children about the Catholic faith.  The program helps children form Christian attitudes about themselves and others in a welcoming environment of prayer, play, and group activities.    

Religious education is provided for children in grades 1-12 who attend area public schools. Classes build on the child’s experience of faith in the home through instruction and faith experiences in the classroom.  Within the context of the program, sacramental preparation is provided at the appropriate levels.  It is our policy that students receive religious instruction at least one year prior to receiving a sacrament.  Since First Communion is usually received in second grade, it is necessary that a child attend Religious Education classes in first grade.  Classes meet on Monday evenings, 6:45– 8 p.m.  The high school class meets once a month.

All classes are taught by people of the parish who graciously volunteer their time.  These volunteers have been trained to work with their particular grade levels.  Classes begin in mid September and end in early May.  For more information, contact Carol Greulich, 347-2646 or e-mail cgreulich@lourdes.org  .
