The Elementary Program is for children in grades Kindergarten through fifth. Children participate in a session that is led by volunteer catechists and meets one day every week for an hour and fifteen minutes.
The program components are as follows: Sessions are held in the classrooms in St. Augustine Hall.
Families choose a day and time that best fits with their schedule.Classes are held every week (excluding some holiday weeks) on:
Either Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons from 3:45 to 5:00 pm
Wednesday early evenings from 5:45pm to 7:00 pm
Regular attendance is required particularly during Sacrament preparation years.
Various activities and methods provide formation that is more experiential, relevant, and engaging.
The program strives to integrate the teachings of the Church at age appropriate levels and gives students a sense of belonging to the great Body of Christ, which we call the Church!
Program basics are reinforced in the home by regular attendance with the parish community at weekend liturgy, prayer at home and regular discussion of faith topics.
