The Religious Education program serves children from Kindergarten to Grade 10.  The school year is from late September to May with classes held on most Sundays (holiday weekends are generally off).  Registration begins in August.  Newcomers and latecomers are always welcome with registration ongoing until we near the end of the first semester.   

Grades K to 8:  Classes are held on Sunday mornings from 9:45 to 10:45 ending in time for families and teachers to attend the 11 a.m. Mass if they wish; thus putting our faith into action through participation in the weekly celebration of the Eucharist.    

Grades 9 to 10 Confirmation Classes:  Confirmation I (Grade 9) and Confirmation II (Grade 10) classes meet on most Sunday afternoons from 3:30 to 5:30 followed by the 5:30 p.m. Mass.  (Attending Mass is part of the requirements for this class.)  Click the Confirmation link on the sidebar of this page to go to our Confirmation Preparation webpage for more detailed information.

Besides classes, there will also be opportunities for families to grow in faith together throughout the year at family festivals. 

Please use the online registration form (available late August) to register your child for religious education or stop by the office to complete your registration process.  Check our bulletin and website regularly to keep up to date with Religious Education news.  

The St. Mary of the Assumption Parish Religious Education Program is an essential part of the mission of the parish. The parish supports the children's parents who are the primary teachers of the faith. The goal of the program is to form the students to be disciples of Jesus Christ, capable of living life with Catholic-Christian values.

The program used from our Kindergarten to Grade 8 is Spirit of Truth published by Sophia Institute and is rooted in engaging and immersing students in the Catholic Faith.  We look to help parents establish the foundation learning and understanding of the doctrines of our Catholic faith and support the children to grow in wisdom and understanding as dictated by their age and learning abilities.
