Religious Education
St. Gerald Religious Education Program
St. Gerald Religious Education Program is for children of the parish in grades K-6 who are students of the public schools. We offer two sessions on Wednesdays beginning at 4:15 and 6pm. Each session runs 75 minutes divided into 60 minutes of class time and 15 minutes of community faith sharing. We begin our sessions with prayer lead by Deacon Tom Valasek. We are blessed to have many volunteers who support our program including Catechists, Aides, Parking Lot Patrol, Attendance Administrators and those who assist when needed. Based on the guidelines from the Archdiocese, we meet 30 Wednesdays beginning early September and ending the last Wednesday in April. We provide Catholic education using Sadlier books, Scriptures, Benediction & prayers with two Masses for opening and closing our sessions. Each child's Catholic faith formation is important to us. We are here to serve the children of the parish as they grow in their understanding of the Catholic faith. We encourage our Catechists and Aides to attend training sessions that are offered at St. Gerald and other metro area parishes throughout the year. These sessions provide the tools the Catechists and Aides can use to enhance their teaching. We ask for prayers and blessings for our children as they journey in their education of the Catholic faith. If you have any questions please call Mary Harper at 402-331-1955.
