The process of formation is the responsibility of everyone in our parish: priests, staff, ministers, parishioners as sponsors, godparents, volunteer catechists, and especially parents sharing our faith by questioning, answering, and telling our stories. That's really what happens in religious education! It doesn't happen overnight, or in one year, but rather in a gradual process over years of a child's maturing toward an adult Catholic understanding.

Pre-school through eight grade students attend sessions on Sunday mornings from 10:00AM to 11:00AM. High School students can teach and aid in the program.

If you have children these ages and would like to enroll them, please see the registration form. Please call Sunny Cesarini, Director of Religious Education, at (570) 675-6488 with questions. She will be happy to discuss the program with you and answer any questions you may have. Also, if you would be interested in teaching or being a teacher's aide in the program, please do not hesitate to contact her. We will gladly "show you the ropes" and keep you current on your theology for those who have never taught.
