Religious Education
Blooming Catholics are Gatherings where children and youth from Kindergarten through 8th Grade will grow deeper into the Catholic faith and community together. During Blooming Catholics Gatherings, children will prepare to receive their holy sacraments and learn how to serve the church and community.
We also offer religious education for high school students in grades 9 through 11. Students will continue growing in their faith and will prepare to receive the sacrament of Confirmation.
There is a small fee of $25 per child or $50 per family to help cover program materials. Financial assistance is available.
