WELCOME to our
St. Joseph Parish Family!
We would like to share some information about our Religious Education Program (REP). We offer religious education classes for 1st through 8th grade on Monday evenings from 6:30 pm until 7:45 pm and on Tuesday evenings for 1st through 8th grade from 5:30 pm until 6:45 pm. Kindergarten will be offered each evening depending on enrollment interest and catechist availability. If you have children in school age level and are interested in gettting your child(ren) involved in our faith formation program, please call our office for a registration packet.
Our sessions for the 2019/2020 year will begin the week of September 9th and 10th and will end the week of March 30th and 31st. A calendar will be available for your convenience. We provide a quality religion class for all grade levels. We currently use "Blest Are We" textbooks for Kindergarten. "Be My Disciples" is the textbook used for grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Grade 2 prepares for the Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrated in December and First Eucharist celebrated in late April or early May. Grades 6, 7 and 8 use Lectionary based Pflaum weekly Gospels.
The leadership of our Religious Education Program along with our catechists are constantly looking for new and improved ways to keep our students in a safe environment. We have developed a crisis plan in the event of an emergency and have trained our catechists on how to respond to several types of emergency scenarios.
Our Religious Education Program continues to grow and improve because of the strength of our leadership, the compassion and dedication of our catechist, and the foundation of caring parents here at St. Joseph. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dennae Petrlich, Director of Religious Education at dpetrlich@stjosephtrenton.com or by phoning us at the Parish Office (734) 676-9082. May God continue to bless you and your family.
