St. Margaret Mary's Religious Education 2011/2012

The purpose of the Religious Education (RE) Program in our parish is to help participants deepen their Christian faith and identity through initiation rites, instruction and formation of conscience. We are committed to proclaiming the mysteries of faith, fostering community, encouraging worship and prayer and motivating service to others. The goal of the program for children and youth is to support and enhance the efforts of parents and guardians who want to share their faith with their children, this is done in the Roman Catholic tradition. As this program continues to grow, catechists are needed to meet the demands.

Sacramental Preparation

Confirmation: Students requesting the sacrament of confirmation will be required to prepare over a two-year period. Candidates must be at least 15 years of age and must have attended pre-confirmation classes.

Communion: Students typically celebrate the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in 2nd grade. Students must complete the pre-communion class or at least 1 year of Religious Education prior to beginning the First Communion program.

Special Sacraments: Religious education classes will be available to youth in 5th grade or older that have not yet received the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Communion.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)

This is a one-week experience of learning, prayer and fun with our children usually scheduled during the summer vacation. Parent and teen volunteers make this event successful and a lot of fun for the children of our parish. No teaching experience is required. There will be some preparation and work done prior to the summer event.
