Does my child need to attend Religious Education every year?

Children are expected to participate in Religious Education every 
year.  This is not only a parish policy but a diocesan policy as 
well.  The curriculum builds on the previous year's studies and 
experiences.  Just as math and language arts cannot be learned on 
a sporadic basis, neither can religion.

How do I register my child for Religious Education?

You can either stop by the Religious Education office or print 
the materials off of this web site.  Please call the office at 
847-537-9423 ext 23 for hours.  The materials are available under 
Registration and Handbook on this site.  Please return 
registration materials ASAP, as this helps us plan for 
next year, ex: teachers, aides, and classroom size.
