St. Jude Parish Religious Education (PRE) assists parents in guiding their children on their spiritual journey. The program is designed for all children Kindergarten through the 8th grade, and meets Wednesdays 6:30pm – 7:30pm September through May. The Faith Formation program for 7-8th graders is called VISIONS and will meet Wednesdays 6-7:30pm. Pre-registraton begins in the late summer and is required as space is limited. If you are interested in volunteering as a catechist or aide in our program please contact Director Kyra Niemann King at the parish office
Sacramental preparation for Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation is incorporated into the regular weekly PRE curriculum. Second grade is the typical age for Reconciliation and Communion, and 6th grade is the earliest that Confirmation will be conferred. If your child has missed these sacraments, or is behind in faith formation instruction, then special preparation or “catch-up” classes or home study in addition to regular classes may be suggested.
Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) – St Jude Parish is excited to announce the beginning of a wonderful new faith formation program for young children (Kindergarten) in a specially prepared (Montessori-based) space called the Atrium. Continuing in the Fall 2022 this opportunity began for all interested families. Please watch the bulletin and Church Vestbule for more information regarding this program.
