Tuesday Evening Program
The Tuesday Evening Program, for children, is designed to foster growth in faith and understanding of Catholic belief and practice. Special needs students are fully included. Children ages 3-6 take part in the Pre-Primary Montessori program. Grades 1-6, in traditional style classrooms, work in a process that invites critical reflection and connects with life experiences. Weekly classes are held on Tuesday evenings (7 - 8:15 PM), September through May, by a cooperative relationship at Holy Trinity parish in nearby Norwood.
We welcome you to volunteer as a catechist, aide, substitute teacher, or musician.

Family Religious Education (Home Program)
A Family Religious Education Program enables parents to share their own faith as they teach their children at home. This program is family oriented and based on the church's liturgical year. Adults and children are invited to reflect on their own life experiences, as well as their experience and understanding of Catholic belief and practice, in the light of the Scriptures from our Sunday Eucharist. There is time for individual work as well as family sharing. Also included are periodic gatherings of the families involved for peer-group sharing and celebrating of faith. Since this program is lectionary based, it assumes weekly participation year-round, beginning with the first Sunday of Advent. Reading materials, activities, and periodic gatherings for support are provided from the parish.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) welcomes new members into the church. It is an ongoing program, meeting every Thursday evening (bi-weekly in summer), 7 to 9 PM in the Parish Center, across the street from the Chapel. Come to inquire or just to say hello. All parishioners are invited to be involved in the work of hospitality, sponsoring, and catechesis, which makes this program vital.
