St. Christopher Catholic Church Bearing Christ to Our Community

Religious Education - Sunday Morning Program

We are pleased that many of our parishioners remember their serious obligation to see to the Religious Formation of their children. Our parishioners and their children enjoy the experience they gain in our ever-growing program. Our students come from various backgrounds (i.e. public school, private school, homeschool). We are content that we have one of the best curriculum programs available in the Ignatius Press, Faith & Life series for grades 1 - 8 and the Didache series for our High School class. If you are not familiar with these textbook series, please feel free to check them out from the links below:

Our Religious Education program meets on Sunday mornings from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. in the Parish Life Center (PLC).  The CCD/Religious Education class schedule usually follows a similar timeline as our local public school calendar with the exception of start and finish dates. This year we will begin our CCD / Religious Education classes on Sunday, September 11th.

Please see our calendar below and the list of important dates to remember.
