2024-2025

Our faith journey continues as we explore our faith, learn about prayer, dive into the sacraments and fulfill our lives in Christ. Current, new, and past St. Robert Bellarmine Religious Education families are invited to join our family-based program. Our goal is to invite, encourage, and equip parents to support their children in the Catholic faith. This program will give you the knowledge and tools needed to bring the love of God front and center in your home and in your lives.

We will provide two “in person” parent/child workshops each month.  We believe this will allow a more consistent and fulfilling program for all involved.  On the off weeks, we are offering a more traditional class for kids only.  Please see below:

Two primary components to Family Religious Education (FRE):

• 1^st & 3^rd Wednesday night family workshops. This includes the following: 
  Priest Discussions  |  Staff-Lead Workshops  |  Monthly Reviews of Lessons  |  Parent-Specific Curriculum Tips | Guest Speakers  |  Student Presentations/Skits  |  Advent Mass  |  Living Rosary  |  Family Projects
  

Our Family Religious Education (FRE) program runs from September through April. 

We are also offering an additional 2 sessions per month for students only, which means students will come on all 4 Wednesdays throughout the month.

Mission Statement

St. Robert Bellarmine Religious Education Program aims to develop the Catholic principles and values of the whole student. Our goal is to help cultivate each student spiritually, intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Through religious education, we strive to teach a deeper understanding of prayer and worship and its relevance in our daily lives.

We provide special classes for preparation of First Reconciliation and First Communion for those students of the parish who are older than 2nd grade. We also provide a special education class for those children who are in need of special teaching methods in order to bring them a better understanding of the love Jesus has for all His children.
