General Statement

Because the Office of Religious Education fully recognizes and respects parents as the primary educators of their children, it welcomes and embraces their role in the educational process. In this respect, the Office of Youth Religious Education and parents must work together as a team to bring the children of Resurrection Parish toward a greater experience, appreciation, and understanding of the following:

  • A greater experience of the total and unconditional love of God who forms each person as a unique and unrepeatable creation.
  • A greater experience of their relationship with Jesus.
  • A greater appreciation of their membership and connection to the Catholic Christian community.
  • A greater understanding of themselves as members of the Catholic Church who share in its universal mission to bring the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ to the world.

Available Religious Education Classes:

  • Sunday morning: K-8 10:15 am-11:30 am

Weekly Religious Education class does not replace Mass attendance for the student. We strongly encourage Sunday students to attend 9:00 am Mass.

  • Sacramental Preparation:1st Reconciliation/1st Communion: “Together in Jesus”, Pflaum Publishing
