St. Joseph Church offers religious education instructions for all children
who do not attend St. Joseph School.
Classes for grades 1 - 6 are held on Wednesday afternoons from 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM. Children gather in the Music/Art room of St. Joseph School for instructions and discussion pertaining to that Sunday's Readings, and further instructions from text.
Students in grades 7 - 12 meet two times a month every other Wednesday starting at 7:00 PM and ending at 8:00 PM. An opportunity for social recreation with their peers is given to these grade levels following class time.
The Materials Fee for the Religious Education Program is $15 per student. No child will ever be turned away or treated differently if there is a financial hardship.
Sacraments
The sacrament of Holy Eucharist is received
in Second Grade and the Sacrament of Reconciliation is received in Fifth
Grade. These children are prepared in the same manner as the children
attending our parish school. Both sacraments can be received individually
or in a communal celebration. Students in the Confirmation Program will
be receiving this sacrament every two years.
Involvement
Volunteers are always needed and encouraged
to become involved with the young people of our parish.
