Religious
Education Program
Registration Form

The Church continues the mission of Jesus, whose teaching has come down
to us through the Apostles. The ministry to Catechesis serves the
Church in that mission. In the National Catechetical Directory,
Sharing the Light of Faith, the American Bishops call for four
key ingredients to achieve the desired “ends” of
Religious Education. Those ingredients are: message, community,
worship, and service. The Religious Education program here at St.
Athanasius strives to support parents in their role as primary
educators, incorporating these key ingredients into our program.
Together, parents, students, catechists, and staff, as a true parish
community, strive to understand the message, work and pray together
in community, worship our God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and
call each other to serve according to our individual gifts and
talents.
Religious Education for First Grade through Eighth Grade are held on Thursday Evenings (6:15 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.) from October through April. Parents are strongly encouraged to be a part of our program by assisting in class.

We remind you that your presence at Liturgy speaks louder than words
in teaching your children respect for the Commandments, faithfulness
to the Church and its traditions, and most certainly love and respect
of our God. Remind your children that Church is a special place
for us to gather as God's family. Help your children to become
familiar with the sign of the cross, the kiss of peace, etc. Take a
place up front so your children can see. Have them use the bathroom
before coming to church to possibly avoid disturbing others. Most of
all, help them to pray and sing and celebrate during Mass.
