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 2023-24 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.
We are always 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 Adilene Huff at adilene.huff@ctrcc.com and Linda Watso at linda.watso@ctrcc.com.
The Religious Education Department communicates to our families via Flocknote, the parish email and text messaging system. Sign up to learn more about how to get involved in our program.
By virtue of Baptism, each person plays a role in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. This year the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 18, 2022 with a theme of: “This is my body, given for you”.
The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. The term “Eucharist” originates from the Greek word eucharistia, meaning thanksgiving. In the celebration of the Eucharist,
bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. The whole Christ is truly present – body, blood, soul, and divinity – under the appearances of bread and wine, the glorified Christ who rose from the dead. This is what the Church means when she speaks of the “Real Presence” of Christ in the Eucharist.
We invite you to join us this year as Catechetical Ministers. To find out more about this
wonderful ministry, please reach out to Adilene Huff at Adilene.Huff@ctrcc.com or 281-469-5533.
