Our Program
St. Monica's religious education program prepares children and adults for receiving the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, first reconciliation and first reception of the Eucharist. We have several programs, depending on age, which teach the knowledge of faith, morals and spirituality.
Grades 1 - 8
Our program for baptized Catholic children in 1st through 8th grade prepares them for receiving the sacraments of reconciliation and first communion (2nd grade), and confirmation (8th grade). Classes are held weekly throughout the school year and are geared for children in each grade.

Older Children
Older children who are out of sequence, meaning they were never enrolled in a grades 1 - 8 program and who have not received their sacraments, are prepared in separate classes. This program uses a curriculum that is modified to suit older children.
Adults
The Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (formerly RCIA) prepares non-Christians for conversion to the Catholic Church, non-Catholic Christians for reception into the Catholic Church, and adult Catholics to complete their sacraments. Participants receive their sacraments at the Easter Vigil Mass. Contact the program for more information.
Registration
Registration for K - 8 is open during the summer for classes that begin in September and end in May. Registration for older children and adults may start at different times of the year. For more information, contact our Religious Education Office.
Volunteer Catechists
We welcome members of the parish to volunteer as teachers in our program. Volunteers must be Catholics in good standing who have received confirmation, must pass a background check and must complete parish-sponsored VIRTUS training.
Closings
Class cancellations due to snow are announced on 94.3 FM The Point, 92.7 WOBM-FM, and 105.7 FM The Hawk.
