The St. John Fisher Religious Education process supports parents in their role as primary educators in their child’s faith formation. This process is based on a holistic approach that includes prayer, encounter, fun, reflection, accompaniment, compassion, kindness, creativity, community, instruction, events, and outreach to the poor to allow the Lord to deepen our faith within the Catholic Tradition. Families are welcome to this RE process whose children attend preschool to 8th grade at the public and private schools in the area. The RE sessions and events facilitate spaces for families to be supported in their participation in a fruitful, Christian way of life.
First Communion preparation starts as early as 1st grade. All children over the age of 7 may prepare for these Sacraments if they are baptized in the Catholic Church. This is a two-year process with regular parent involvement. Proof of a child’s baptism is required. Circumstances conflicting with any requirements may be discussed with the Director of Religious Education to explore possible options. Please contact the DRE to find out what the next step would be if a child has not been baptized in the Catholic Church.
