I turn to you and ask if you might be interested in sharing your Faith with our children once a week on Tuesday afternoon or evening from next Sept. to May? No experience is necessary! I will teach you the basic Catholic Faith and the basics of being a good teacher and this would take place from 7-9 p.m. over four evenings in late August. Believe me, you will gain far more than you give - a knowledge of your Faith, a deeper relationship with Jesus through Scripture and prayer, belonging to a wonderful group of fellow parishioners and a feeling of doing something of eternal value in making a difference in children's lives now and later.
Please pray about this and if God is asking YOU to "step up to the plate" in making this weekly commitment for one year - CALL or E-MAIL ME for an appointment. I'll be praying, too that you say "YES"! Blessings galore to you and your family. Thank you. Peace and joy these days.     Sr. Regina 201-387-0080 or sreginaccd@yahoo.com
 

The Elementary religious Education Program at Sacred Heart Parish has as its goal to develop in the child a sense of belonging to a Faith Community which is identified by its beliefs in Jesus Christ as well as the writings and teachings of the Catholic Church. 

The program is staffed by capable and conscientious volunteers who are provided on-going education and diocesan certification. However, it is important to note that Religious Education is both formational and informational. It is the primary responsibility of the parents to oversee both aspects!  It is paramount that the primary formational part of living out worship on Sunday as well as Christian values in everyday life be assumed by the parents and guardians. It is only together that we can build the Church of tomorrow. With this in mind, parent and family gatherings are periodically scheduled.

Classes meet weekly in the Sacred Heart school building: Grades 1-4 on Tuesday afternoons from 3:45-5:00 p.m. and Grades 5-7 on Tuesday evenings from 7:00-8:15 p.m. Classes begin in mid-September and end in early May. Usually, no classes are held during days designated as holidays by either the Public School or Sacred Heart Church.

In addition, information may be obtained through the Religious Education Office regarding "SAREH", a Sunday alternative home-based religious education program that is available for some grades.
