Children’s Religious Education
Our children are taught about the Catholic faith in their homes, through prayer, attending Mass, reading the Bible or Bible stories, and through their love for one another and the community, this is called the “Domestic Church”. Here at St. Catherine Labouré we want to support you as parents, godparents, grandparents, and other family members by providing the following classes for your children. Family members are encouraged to support their children in their religious education and should attend parent meetings, family class gatherings, and Mass together regularly.
Classes:
Preschool for ages 4 & 5:
We meet during the 9:30 a.m. Mass from late September until late May. Registration is open throughout the year. The fee is $20.00 for supplies. A registration, paper or online, is required.
Children’s Liturgy of the Word
During the Mass, children are dismissed after the opening prayer to go with the Shepherd of the Word to hear the readings and have a child friendly discussion on them. We offer Children’s Liturgy of the Word throughout the whole year during the 9:30 a.m. Mass. No registration or fee is required.
