Catechism Classes
St. Joseph's Parish School of Religion provides catechesis in the Catholic Faith and sacramental preparation for children from Age 4 to Grade 6 (for older children, see Youth Ministry).
Classes run Sunday through Thursday 3:45 to 5:15pm.*
For students in 1st-6th grades we use Ignatius Press's Faith and Life series. For children ages 4-6, we offer the unique Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, an exciting immersive class. The Bible and the liturgy are the fundamental sources for illuminating and nourishing the child.
*In 2019-2020, PSR classes will meet T-Th. Family Faith Formation will meet Sundays.
