Religious Education Grades 1st – 8th

2023-2024 REVISED Religious Education Calendar

Start of the School Year Information- 2023-2024

7th Grade Parent/Student Letter

Welcome to a new school year of learning and growing in FAITH! This year all our classes are on Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00pm

A diocesan standard curriculum was approved by Bishop Walkowiak and is now being implemented to incorporate evangelization with catechesis in Catholic schools, and in religious education programs like ours in all parishes of the Grand Rapids Diocese.

 
Three Parts of a Whole
The Curriculum Framework is structured to be comprehensive in scope. There are three parts to the diocesan framework: Encounter, Grow, and Witness. The Lord longs for each student to encounter him, to grow as his disciple, and to serve as a witness of the Gospel in his/her family and community.
 

Our Religious Education program is offered to students in First through Eighth Grade.

Grades 1st – 6th: Wednesdays, 5:30 – 7:00 p.m.

Grades 7th & 8th (Confirmation 1 & 2): Sundays, 12:15 p.m. – 1:45 p.m.
