RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Welcome to St Peter’s Religious Education!
Classes begin Wednesday, September 9, 2026
To register for the 2026-2027 year after September 2nd please contact the DRE
Our Religious Education Program supports parents, who are the primary role models, in forming the teaching of the Catholic Faith. By partnering with parents as primary faith models, the Religious Education Team (staff, catechists, volunteers) implements the six tasks of catechesis to form adults and youth through faith knowledge, sacramental worship, moral conscience formation, practice in prayer, community living, and service outreach. Our formation process utilizes methods and materials which are approved by our Diocese, in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Classes are held at the St Francis Worship Center, 238 S 6th St.
● Grades K-8 meet on Wednesdays from 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m.
● Grades 9-10 meet on Wednesdays from 7:15 p.m.-8:15 p.m.

EXPECTATION:
Parents are expected to be role models of faith to their youth and agree to equally prioritize spiritual growth, as they do physical and intellectual growth. Parents are expected to be active participating members of the faith community through regular attendance at Mass, models of prayer in the home, engaged in the study of God's word and putting into action the Christian way of living.
It is also expected that families not "take a break" between significant preparation and celebration years when preparing youth to celebrate a Sacrament of Initiation (baptism, 1st communion & confirmation).
Welcome and Thank you for prioritizing your child's faith formation. If you have any questions or need assistance please contact:
