Elementary Religious Education
There are so many opportunities for you, the parents, and your children to discover and experience the truth, beauty, and traditions of the Catholic Church together.
What are a Catholic parent's priorities?
- Teach them the ways of faith by:
- Our family's regular participation in the Sacred Liturgy.
- Form them in the ways of faith.
We take our responsibility to you seriously to help you fulfill the promises you made at your child's Baptism: to raise them in the ways of faith. We offer many options to assist you in this responsibility, and thank you for letting us join your family's journey of faith. The St. Michael Formation team has developed many catechist training and preparation programs for parents and classroom catechists. Please see below for descriptions of our offerings for children's catechesis.
About us
The year for Elementary Religious Education generally follows the school calendar (August-May), with registration during the spring and summer. K-5. Catechesis options include both family-centered catechesis and traditional classroom catechesis.

Faith is shaped not by programs, but by the way of our lived experience of the sacramental life.
Our roots of faith, when firmly developed, give support to our family to sustain us in living day to day.
