Thank you for your interest in the St. Theresa Religious Education Program!  If you have not been enrolled in this program previously, a copy of your child's Baptismal certificate is required to have on file.  If your child was Baptized at St. Theresa, please provide your child's birth date so we can look up your child's Baptism in the parish records.

Students are to be enrolled in formal Religious Education classes for a minimum of two years for the reception of the Sacraments.  It is strongly recommended for students to attend every year to receive a more well rounded formation in our Catholic Faith.

Preparation for Confirmation includes completing a minimum of 24 hours of volunteer service with at least one hour in each of the following area:  family, church, and community.

This program could not be successful without you, the parents!  Reinforcing the teachings of our faith will help your child(ren) become stronger Catholics.  Your active participation in your child(ren)'s spiritual growth is crucial through attending Mass weekly, taking time to discuss what is being taught in class, and follow up resources.  We are always seeking new catechists, aides, substitute catechists, help in the reception area, and help at the door.  Virtus Training of volunteers is even offered online this year.  If you are interested, please contact the Religious Education Office to discuss these options further.  All volunteers must be compliant with the archdiocesan requirements for protecting children.

Please note, there is an early bird discount for registration and payment received by July 15!  Online payment is available through:  https://secure.edlio.com/ssl/store/index.jsp?ech=www.sttheresaschool.com.  Please make sure to submit the registration form prior to online payment.


Class assignments and schedule for the year will be provided in late August.  Classes will begin in mid-September.

Through Christ's Love,
Elizabeth Vogt
