Our students from grades K to 8, meet once a week for 75 minutes, from September to May. Parents can choose from two sessions: Sundays, 10:35 a.m. to 11:50 a.m.; or Mondays, 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m.
In addition, we offer a week-long PREP session. The week-long session runs from July 11 to 15 (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon) plus one Sunday a month (9/11, 10/9, 11/13, 12/11, 1/8, 2/12, 3/12, 4/16, 5/7) from 10:35 a.m. to 12:25 p.m.
After completing a Catechist Orientation Course and Safe Environment Training, volunteer catechists teach our students while aides assist them in the classroom and at the door. The Archdiocesan Office for Catechetical Formation also offers various courses for catechists throughout the year.
Following the Guidelines of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, our spiral curriculum first introduces young children to a loving God who lives in a Trinitarian relationship and invites them to be a part of that community. As the children progress through the various levels, they continue to learn about God, our Beliefs, the Church, the Sacraments, and Morality, and at the same time, they develop their relationship with God through Prayer and Scripture.
Additionally, second grade students prepare for the reception of the Sacraments of Penance and Eucharist. Seventh grade students prepare for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation. We do make accommodations for students who want to receive the Sacraments but are beyond the usual grade levels. Annmarie and the parents work this out together.
