Welcome to the Religious Education program at St. Mary’s!

Registration for the 2025-2026 Religious Education year has ended. Please check back in Summer 2026 for updates on registration for the 2026-2027 year.

We offer a variety of programs to fit our community's needs (all ages are as of August 1, 2025):

  • Children's catechism classes for ages 4-12
  • Sacramental preparation for children ages 7-12
  • Children's catechism in Spanish for ages 7-12
  • Youth Bible Study for ages 13-18

Registration for the upcoming 2025-2026 Religious Education year has ended.

Classes begin Thursday, August 21 from 5:30-7:00pm. Parents will attend a start-of-the-year orientation while children attend their first class, where we will discuss the program, go over the schedule for the year, and answer any questions parents might have. Please note that no payments or registrations will be accepted at this orientation. If you have registered your child and need to make a payment, please see payment information below.

See you there!

Required Documents

  • Completed registration form for each child (if registering more than one child, you may use the “Additional Child” form for the remaining child/children, as long as the parental and household information is the same for all the children).
  • Child’s Baptism certificate (or birth certificate if child is not baptized)
  • Certificates for any other sacraments that the child has received in the Catholic Church.
  • If your child has started their sacrament preparation at another parish, we will need an official letter from that pastor to verify.
