Educational instruction is available for children in grades 1 through 10. This is a very large program, serving almost 2900 students.

Attention Grade One Parents:

Religious Education for First Communion is a two-year program. The first year the students complete the book at home with their parents following our schedule. The second year the students attend classes at the Parish Center (across from the church). We will be having registration for first grade students on the following dates:
  • Wednesday, September 28, 2011 (2:00 p.m.--7:00 p.m.)
  • Thursday, September 29, 2011 (9:00 a.m.--2:00 p.m.)
Registration will be held in the library of the Parish Center. There is no online registration for first grade. The fee is $50.00 and can be paid by cash or check only.

If your child was NOT baptized at St. Mary's, you need to bring a copy of his/her Baptismal Certificate. We need to keep this, so please do not bring the original. If your child WAS baptized at St. Mary's, we have a record of that and no certificate is necessary. ABSOLUTELY NO REGISTRATIONS WILL BE TAKEN WITHOUT PROOF OF BAPTISM.

If you know of anyone who is not registered in our parish and has a first grade student, please pass this message on to them. Thanks for helping us out with that. If you have any questions, please call the Religious Education Office at 508-528-1450.
