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.
Religious Education General Information
Online Registration for St. George Religious Education Families
After careful reflection and investigation regarding the current situation with the Covid-19 virus, we have finally come upon a plan for the launching of our 2020-2021 school year.
At this time, we are opening our Religious Education registration process. While things will certainly look different, at least for the first semester, we look forward to sharing our Faith with our children in new ways. The safety of our children and catechists is of the utmost importance and our programming will reflect that concern. For now, the majority of our classes and experiences will be virtual, with the hope that we might gather in person on occasion as it becomes safe to do so.
We are beginning to form the individual classes now. We are asking our families to register at this time since class sizes will be limited in order that our catechists can effectively instruct in a virtual setting. We will continue to update you as the semester progresses. Please know that we are available to answer any questions or to discuss any concerns that you might have.
For all returning families and those families who are new to our parish community, please review the letter below for further instructions before registering your children. For questions not addressed in the letter, please contact the Office of Religious Education at 203-453-3496.
Many Blessings,
Cara, Sr. Kathleen, Diane and Claire

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.
