Religious Education

Religious Education at St. John the Evangelist Parish

Here at St. John's, we believe that Religious Education does not end after the sacrament of confirmation, but rather is a lifelong pursuit of deepening your relationship with God. We understand that every member of our community may be in a different place in their faith journey aim to meet them where they are at and aid in strengthening and deepening their relationship with their faith. 

How is God calling you to deepen your faith?

For families with students in Pre-K through 6th grade, we use a Family Centered form of Religious Education. Each month, families will be given a comprehensive packet with all materials necessary for that month's topics. Student will have the monthly opportunity to join their peers and review material with their teacher. At the monthly family gatherings, families will have the opportunity to hear from a presenter from the parish or diocesan community.

For families with students in 7th and 8th grade, we utilize  a two-year long preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation. Students will come together with their peers biweekly to learn more about the sacrament and deeper their faith and relationships with God. Cross Roads is required for ALL 7th and 8th graders who intend to receive confirmation. Outside of learning, participants will also have the opportunity to participate in fellowship activities, service projects, and more!
