 Our Summer Program will move to a remote learning model for this year;  our dates remain July 20 - July 31.  More information will be made available to families as we develop this new model.

Also our Confirmation scheduled for Thursday, March 19th,

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.

Welcome to the Religious Education homepage!  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: We offer a traditional program which normally meets Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 5:30-6:45, and encompasses grades 1st through 8th.  Please note that circumstances related to the pandemic may necessitate that we hold classes on only one night per week, and that directives from the state and the Diocese may affect our ability to offer in-person classes.  Families who register for the Fall Program will receive updates through the summer as plans develop.  The Fall Program normally runs from September through April.

• Summer Program:  We also offer an intensive summer program which this year runs from July 20 through July 31.  For 2020-2021, this program is moving 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 involves the family in the child's faith formation.  Families will meet either in person or 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!
