Religious Education for Children Grades PreK3-6

All are welcome to participate in faith formation at Christ the Redeemer. The Religious Education Department and Catechetical Ministry Team at Christ the Redeemer directly serves families of children Pre-K 3 through 6th grade.

The mission of Christ the Redeemer’s Religious Education program is to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the families by forming the faith of the children through the process of religious education. At the same time, we accompany, evangelize, and catechize the parents who are primarily responsible for raising their children in the faith.

Through the formation process the families will continue to seek, know, and love God and because of that love will live each day serving God and neighbor. Through lives committed to prayer, sacraments, formation, and service, they learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and invite others to do the same. 

For the 2021-22 Catechetical Year, we will offer traditional classroom sessions as well as a home-based option for families to ensure all children in grades PreK3-6th are being served. However, to accommodate social distancing, we will be limited in numbers in our traditional classroom sessions.  If the need arises due to health concerns, we will pivot to weekly virtual classes, taught by the catechist(s) assigned to the child's in-person class until we can return in-person. 

In order for more children to attend in-person classes, we are in need of many catechetical ministers to give a weekly commitment to help in the classroom.  We will offer all of the training needed and assist all our ministers throughout the year.  If you are interested in joining the ministry, please email Linda Watso at linda.watso@ctrcc.com.
