Grade 11-12 Religious Education

Due to changes in Religious Education and Confirmation throughout the Diocese, we are now offering religious ed classes for 9-12th grade that are not based on the sacrament of Confirmation; Confirmation is now a separate program. 11th & 12th grade religious ed sessions are on Monday evenings 6-8pm: 9/12, 9/26, 10/10, 10/24, 11/14, 11/28, 12/5 and will continue in 2012 TBD. *NOTE: If you have NOT been Confirmed, you will stay from 6-7pm only!


Confirmation Preparation

CONFIRMATION HAS CHANGED THIS YEAR!  The preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation has changed from a two-year religious education program for our 10th and 11th graders to an immediate preparation process for 10th grade students (and unconfirmed 11th and 12th graders).
