Family Catechesis is a Religious Education, 2-year preparation for children, their parents and siblings. Our objective is to bring whole families closer to the Eucharist, closer to Jesus.

The family is the domestic church. Following this principle from the Catholic Church and recognizing the need and thirst of God that exists in modern families, we want to provide this preparation so that all members of your family achieve:

1. An encounter with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar
2. An enkindled love for the Eucharist
3. A deeper understanding on the importance of this Sacrament

Family Catechesis is for children from grades 1st through 7th and their parents. If your child will start 8th grade in the Fall, and has never completed first year of Family Catechesis or Religious Education, then he/she must be enrolled in Confirmation program once he/she begins High School.

The families are required to attend twice a month, on Sundays, to the Family Catechesis and Holy Mass. We start with Mass at 9:30 am, followed by the interactive education program especially designed for the whole family.

The classes are predominantly in English. However, our staff can assist you and explain the requirements in Spanish as well.

The cost of the program is divided between the two years of programming. Year 1 costs $135 and $90 for additional siblings. Year 2 costs $175 and $130 per additional sibling. Tuition covers class materials and light snacks for each child and their family.

Your child will be able to receive the Sacrament of Baptism during the first year of Family Catechesis. Please talk to the Director of Religious Education for more information.
