Passing on our faith to our children is one of the best gifts we can give them. Our Lady’s Parish offers weekly religious education during the school year for children in grades 1-8. Our mission is to aid Catholic parents with their children’s faith formation, as well as teach the fundamentals of the Catholic faith, and prepare the children to receive the sacraments.
Classes meet on Sundays from 9:30-10:45am beginning in September and concluding with the May Crowning the first weekend in May. For more information about the program please email the Coordinator of Religious Education or call the parish office at the number at the bottom of this page.
Religious education annual fees: $50 for one child, $90 for two children, $100 for three or more children
