Religion Curriculum – Grades K-6

   Sadlier’s We Believe with Project Disciple.  This 2011 edition is based on the six tasks of catechesis—pray, learn, celebrate, share, choose, and live.  These new sections invite children to live out their faith with exciting activities that deepen each lesson.  This updated curriculum incorporates the Roman Missal third edition.

   All second graders are prepared for the receiving of the sacraments First Penance and First Communion in the late winter/early spring of the school year by Mrs. Sanow.

   School mass is held once a week at St. Mary’s Parish.  Students participate in the mass by announcing the songs, reading the readings and petitions, bringing up the gifts, serving, and leading the psalm singing. The first Friday of every month students also participate in confession before or after mass. Stations of the Cross services are attended during Lent.  Special masses are held to observe Holy Days, including All Saints Day and the Crowning of Mary.
