Religious Education
This program is offered for children age 4 years old through the 8th grade. It is held on Sunday mornings throughout the school year. Children gather at St. George School at 9:45 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. Following class they are taken by the staff to church to join their parents at Mass. Our program provides religious educational opportunities to enhance the personal faith life of the children. The curriculum which we use has been approved by the Archdiocesan Office of Faith Formation. Registration in this program is required for children attending public school and highly recommended for children attending Catholic school.

RCIA: (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults)
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the process through which women and men become members of the Roman Catholic Church. The process is concerned with the total formation of the person into believing, praying, worshipping and serving with the community of the Catholic Church. This gradual process of development and preparation for a life of Christian discipleship culminates in the celebration of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist at the Easter Vigil.
The RCIA is designed for those seeking Christian baptism, for those baptized in other Christian denominations who now seek full communion with the Catholic Church, and for already baptized Catholics seeking to complete sacramental initiation through the reception of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.

RCIA: (Adapted for Children)
Our parish offers a program for children ages 5 years old through the 8th grade who have not received the sacraments of Initiation - Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation. They prepared at their own grade level during our Two Year preparation program of First Reconciliation and First Communion. The family understands that the celebration of the sacraments is a specific moment in a lifelong process of conversion, not an end in itself and there is a commitment to ongoing religious formation for the children in the family.
