Catholic Education

School of Religion

Sacred Heart Parish community cherishes our children. As a community of believers we work together to raise them in the Catholic faith. Parents are the primary educators of their children and are supported by the Pastor, a religious education staff, and approximately ninety volunteer catechists.


The goal of the Sacred Heart School of Religion Program is to guide and assist parents in forming the faith of their children by:

  • teaching them the doctrines of the Catholic Church
  • teaching them the prayers and traditions of the Church
  • familiarizing them with Sacred Scripture
  • teaching Christian values and showing them how to live according to those values
  • presenting them with opportunities to serve others

 

These classes are for children who attend public education. Classes are offered on Sunday mornings from 9:30am-10:45am as well as Wednesday evening for Kindergarten – Seventh Grade from 6:30pm-7:45pm. Classes are posted on the Parish Master Calendar.
