Religious Education General Information

6/1/2025:

We will advise, through email, facebook and bulletin announcements, when the Religious Education sign up season will begin for the 2025-2026 school year.

 

At the present time, The religious education programs of St. George Church have as their mission the formation of children and youth as followers of Jesus Christ and members of his Church. Our goal is to help them grow in faith and love of Christ, to know him through prayer and sacraments, and to live according to his teachings. We encourage strong family involvement in all of our programs and recognize that nothing that is done in class can equal in importance the religious experience and example of praying with their own families at home and with the parish community at Mass on Sunday. Registration for programs is done online.

Welcome back to the St. George Church Faith Formation Program (Formerly Religious Education Program)! We are praying daily for the health and safety of our parish families, our community and our world. We trust that this letter is finding you well and that you are finding ways to enjoy summer with your family and friends.

For all returning families and those families who are new to our parish community, please review the letter below for further instructions as we need to determine how many children we will have for CCD before we can set up actual classes by grades.

FAQ's

The parish religious education program supplements the faith formation a child is receiving at home. A parent, as the primary religious educator, is wise to enroll a child as soon as he or she is ready to enter a program. St. George offers classes for PreK3  through High School age students.

St. George religious education programs run from September to April. Students will meet between 12 and 20 times depending on the grade.
