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 as of August 1, 2026, and kindergarten children aged 5 as of August 1, 2026. Classes occur during the school year from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m.
1st-5th Grade
Religious Education classes are held on 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 their families and to apply and reinforce the faith formation they are experiencing during 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 in Mass with their families and apply and reinforce the formation they receive during their sessions.
