About Our Religious Education Program

 

Saint Mary's offers religious education for children of registered parishioners that attend public school grades kindergarten through 8.  For registration information, please contact Mrs. Patricia Dorsi (908) 756-0038

We need catechists for Grades 4 on Sunday mornings and Grades 4 & 5 on Wednesday afternoons.  You do not have to be an experienced teacher to volunteer.  A love of children and a love of the Lord is all that is needed.  Teacher training and support will be provided.  We would love to have you join our staff!

Parents are reminded to kindly return the religious education registration forms to the office as soon as possible.  Classes are filling up quickly and if you prefer a particular day for your child to attend, it would be wise to register soon

Our sacramental preparation period is two years.  Therefore, children preparing for First Eucharist must attend classes for grades 1 and 2;  Confirmation preparation is grades 7 and 8.

If you are new to our parish or did not receive a registration form in the mail, please call Pat Dorsi at (908) 756-0038.
