Please fill out the form below to register your family for the Religious Education program for the 2023-2024 year. Classes will meet from 9:15-10:15 am on Sundays. The calendar with specific dates will be available in the fall.
Fees: $30/child, $60 family max. Please write a check to Saint Mary the Virgin Catholic Church and mail to the parish office OR pay by PayPal to stmaryarl@sbcglobal.net.
SACRAMENTS: Please note that St. Mary the Virgin, as a parish in the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, follows the restored order of the sacraments, and thus we offer Confirmation before First Communion, within the same Mass. This means that anyone aged 7-8 and older is eligible to receive both Confirmation and First Communion and as such they will automatically enrolled in this preparation. Our formation process allows students who are in their second year of Level 2 in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd to receive these sacraments together, but we work with each family to discern the needs of each child. Please contact the DRE if you want to discuss this; generally, however, based on age and eligiblity, your child will be enrolled in classes with the assumption that they will receive at this time.
For older children still in need of the sacraments, such as Confirmation, we also have preparation classes appropriate for their ages.
