Order of Christian Initiation of Children (OCIC) focuses on children in grades 3-8 who need preparation to celebrate the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, and/or Eucharist. This program is adapted from the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA) process, and the catechists concentrate on helping the children understand the sacraments to be celebrated as part of the Catholic faith community.

"You too, dear young people can be joyful witnesses of his love, courageous witnesses of his Gospel, carrying to this world a ray of his light." - Pope Francis

Welcome to Religious Education! Our goal is to help our children grow to become true disciples of Jesus Christ by building relationships with them, being examples for them, and teaching them God’s Word.

• 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. 
• 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. 
• 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.
