Registration due by September 1st for Fall/Family Programs

The Religious Education Office is suspending in-person office hours for the time being.  Email is the best way to reach us for now.  Mrs. Donohue can be reached at jdonohue@parishofsacredheart.org and Mrs. Kane can be reached at rel.ed@parishofsacredheart.org.  

Also our Confirmation scheduled for Thursday, March 19th,
and our First Communion Masses scheduled for May 2nd have been postponed due to concerns related to the coronavirus.  We will inform the parents  when the new dates have been scheduled, and publish the dates in the bulletin as well.

We will continue to update families as needed via email and our SchoolMessenger alert system.  Parish updates will be available on the main page of the web site.  We also encourage you to follow our Facebook page, which is now for both our Church and RE program.  You can go to our page by clicking here.

Here is some general information about our program:

• All families registering children in our program must be parishioners of Sacred Heart, and all new registrations must be accompanied by a copy of the baptismal certificate, and any additional sacramental records/prior Religious Education records if applicable (i.e., if the student is new to our program and beyond 1st grade).

• Traditional Fall Program: Due to current circumstances, our program will be offered virtually when we begin in October.  (We will continue to reevaluate the possibility of in-person classes as time goes on.)  As our program traditionally meets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, we will maintain this schedule with regard to the virtual meeting aspect of classes.  More information will be communicated as our plans develop.

• Summer Program:  We also offer an intensive summer program which this year runs from July 20 through July 31.  For 2020-2021, this program moved to a remote learning model due to concerns regarding the pandemic.  More information will be communicated as we develop this new model. **Please note that registration was due on July 1st and classes are now filled.  

•  Family Program:  For 2020-2021, we are offering a family program.  The option is home-based, and will involve the family in the child's faith formation.  Families will meet virtually (depending upon directives) with the DRE once each month.  This program runs from October through April.

• Our program uses the textbook series 'Alive in Christ,' published by Our Sunday Visitor.  We also use the RCL Benziger 'Family Life' program as mandated by Bishop O'Connell.

• For adults and teenagers who wish to become Catholic or continue their Religious Education to culminate in receiving Sacraments, we offer an RCIA program.  Please click the RCIA link on this page for more information!
