Sacramental
Preparation
Our Sacramental
Preparation Program is Parent-based--parents work with their children at
home to prepare them for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and the
Eucharist. It is a church-designed program, and we provide the
parents with all the materials they will need. Special activities
are planned through the church as well, such as the Blessing Cup meal,
Palm Sunday procession, and special Retreat days.
Catechists & Assistants
Our Religious Education Program could not
survive without the help of our volunteer catechists and teacher
assistants. There is no specific requirement for these positions
other than a desire to work with the youth of our parish.
Students in each grade level meet once a
week throughout the school year and are taught through a "team
teaching" approach--certified teachers and assistants all working
together to instruct the children.
For those teachers and assistants who find
continued satisfaction and fulfillment working with the youth of our
parish, we encourage participation in the archdiocese's catechist program
which offers levels of certification at 30, 60, and 100 hours.
For more information about helping in this
ministry, contact Carole Dowell at 410-255-3677, extension 104 or use our on-line Volunteer
Form and we will be happy to contact you.
