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.
