Jesus and Me (JAM)
JAM (Jesus and Me) Religious Education classes are for the parish's Preschool and Kindergarten children. Activities are joyful and involve movement, song, puppets, stories, and scripture! They are designed for Pre-K children aged 4 by August 1, 2024, and kindergarten children aged 5 by August 1, 2024. Classes occur during the school year from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m.
1st-5th Grade
Religious Education classes are held twenty Sundays from August to May. Sessions occur at St. Malachy School from 8:45 - 10:15 am, allowing children to participate in Mass with the families and apply and reinforce the faith formation they are experiencing during the Religious Education classes. While parents are the first teachers of the faith, these classes provide a unique opportunity for children to learn about their faith from their peers and from other adults’ perspectives, enriching their understanding and strengthening their faith.
6th Grade - 7th Grade
On Sunday mornings during the school year, middle school students in 6th and 7th grade learn to be "joyful witnesses of the Gospel" while building up the community. The sessions take place at St. Malachy School from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m., allowing the youth to participate at Mass with their families to apply and reinforce the formation they are experiencing during their sessions.
Vacation Bible School
'Round the world or just down the street, make peace with everyone you meet!
Welcome to Passport to Peace, an interactive VBS to help children make peace a way of life. Peacemaking skills are essential for those who want to follow Jesus’ way of peace. The four Bible stories in this curriculum encourage children to listen to and learn from people who are different, care for people who are sick or suffering, creatively work to keep everyone safe and refuse to respond to conflict with violence. Through worship and drama, Bible study, art projects, and active games, children learn that there are many opportunities and ways to live as peacemakers.
Passport to Peace invites children to see every person as part of God’s family and every interaction as an opportunity for peacemaking.
VBS is open to children 4 years old (by June 22, 2025) through 4th grade (based on the 2025-26 school year). VBS will occur June 23-26th from 6-8 pm.
Registration is Closed. See you next year!
