Religious Education for Children

“Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the earliest years...Family catechesis  precedes, accompanies and enriches other forms of instruction in their faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of liturgical  life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for catechesis of children and parents.”
-Catechism of the Catholic Church #2226
 

While our program will teach your child a great deal about who God is, it is your example of living the Gospel in your life that will ultimately be his/her greatest spiritual influence.
 

Our Lady of Lourdes facilitates weekly religious education for children who do not attend our parish school. Offered on Sunday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30, RE runs from September through April and includes a 2-year sacrament preparation for First Eucharist, First Reconciliation, and Confirmation.
