What? A family-based religious education program in which your child (Grade 1 – 5) attends a monthly session with you or a guardian/adult and Grade 6 (no parent/guardian) attends twice a month. We learn about the Faith together and provide resources for you to continue sharing and teaching at home.

A young person must complete at least one year of Family Catechesis before starting the preparation for the sacrament of First Penance and First Communion.
