Mission & Vision
The mission of the Religious Education program of Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church is to provide our children with the knowledge, experience, and skills necessary to develop and nurture their personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The program encourages the children to learn Catholic doctrine, prayers, scripture stories, traditions, and practices in order to acquire a Catholic identity. The program strives to connect the teachings of Christ and the Church with the students’ life experience in living out the Christian life.

PRE-K THROUGH 8TH GRADE
-
Lessons flow from the Sunday Gospel, so children are introduced to the Catholic faith within the rhythms of the liturgical year.
Pre-K is open to those children who will have turned 4 years old by September 1.
Kindergarten is open to those children who will have turned 5 years old by September 1 and are enrolled in Kindergarten in a public, private, or homeschool.
-
Engage in a variety of hands-on, interdisciplinary activities to enhance the concepts being learned in their online lessons at home. They learn the story of Salvation History and how they are part of the story. They hear the story, they explore the faith, and they respond to the message through creativity.
-
Grades 7-8 progress to a more "discussion-style" catechetical experience as they embark upon a 2-year overview of the Catholic faith. Discussions are sparked by the video content from "Decision Point" and "Chosen". They engage in weekly discussions about how the faith applies to their lives as teens who are preparing for Confirmation and will soon be fully initiated members of the Catholic Church, called to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. Additionally, they attend scheduled Sacramental Preparation workshops and/or retreats.
