The Elementary Religious Education Classes are based on a strong basic instructional program using the "Blest Are We Faith & Word" series. Students are required to attend classes beginning in August and continuing until May. 1st Grade through 6th Grade Classes are held each Sunday morning from 9:55 am until 10:45 am.

Starting in 2020, students need to attend the First Grade PSR/school classes to be admitted to the Second Grade sacramental preparation class.  The Second Grade has sacramental preparation and parent/student meetings for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist.

Junior High Classes are taught on Wednesday evenings from 6:45 pm to 8:15 pm.   Ascension Press Altaration and Chosen programs are used in preparation for Confirmation.  Confirmation preparation is a 2 year program which begins in the 7th grade.  A candidate needs to attend PSR/school 7th grade classes before being admitted into the 8th Grade Confirmation Class. There are three meetings and a retreat which are part of the Candidate's preparation for Confirmation, as well service opportunities.
