Religious Education Classes are every 2nd and 4th Sunday at 8:30 am at St. Mary's School. We have many activities for the Pre-K through 6th Grade students including reading through that Sunday's liturgy, discussing the Gospel, making a related craft, preparation for First Eucharist, First Reconciliation, and Confirmation (2nd grade and older), and more! There are also take home materials to be able to continue the lessons and conversations at home. Contact the office for information. 

October 14th Recap
We discussed the Gospel of the day, talking about how it is harder for a "rich" man to enter the Kingdom of God than it is to pull a camel through the eye of a needle. We discussed ways we can give up our possessions and help those less fortunate. Then the students made cards for the poor or less fortunate to help cheer others up. The Sacramental Prep class reviewed the liturgical calendar and had an overview of the expectations for the class. The younger crew discussed how to "Be a Friend" and did a craft to color and glue.

Sept 23rd Recap
We discussed the readings and Gospel of the day, and decorated serving trays - discussing ways we can serve others and what that means. The sacramental preparation class met for the first time. The first grade and younger students talked about prayer, what to pray for and ways to pray. We went over the Sign of the Cross and the five finger prayer. 

Sept 9th Recap
We discussed the Mass Readings and Gospels and created wind chimes to represent the story from when the deaf man was healed. The wind chime makes noise you can hear with your ears and also the wind moves through the chime like the how the word of this miracle was shared amongst the people.
