At Old Town Parishes Religious Education (Immaculate Conception and St Joseph and St. Michael’s Parishes) we dedicate ourselves to helping families raise their children in the Catholic faith by promoting life-long learning and growth. Teaching children about the Catholic faith is first and foremost the privilege and responsibility of parents. That is the reason why we strive to include families in our educational initiatives.
We provide Sunday Religious Education classes for children in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. These classes are intended for children not currently attending a Catholic school
Religious Education meets Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:30 a.m. from mid-September to mid-May iat St. Michael's in the Parish Center at 1711 N. Cleveland Avenue. We offer small classes of ten or less students which are led by volunteer catechists who are trained and mentored by our Director of Religious Education.
Classes are taught from an approved Religion text, Finding God, Loyola Press, and also include time for prayer and discussion. We gather periodically as a whole community for seasonal prayer services and off-site service projects.
