Our 2021-2022 Parish Religious Education Program will offer weekly in-person faith formation classes for children not enrolled in Our Lady of Fatima School. It is the obligation of Catholic parents to ensure that their children receive instruction in the Catholic faith. The goal of the Parish Religious Education Program is to assist parents in their role as the primary educators of their children in the faith.
Schedule
Catechism (CCD) classes for children in grades K-7 will begin in-person classes every Wednesday (except holidays), beginning September 8th, 2021, ending May 11th, 2022, from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM in classrooms at Our Lady of Fatima School. Parents are required to attend the first class on September 8th in which they will receive their workbooks and general instructions. Grades will be combined into 3 group classrooms:
Kinder through 2nd grades,
3rd and 4th grades,
5th through 7th Grades.
Registration
There is a registration/book fee of $40 per child for all grades to help cover the cost of books and supplies. The parish subsidizes the Religious Education Program because the registration fees alone only defray the cost of the textbooks and do not cover the actual cost of the entire program.
Registration due August 18, 2021.
Registration for Catechism classes will begin August 3rd. Please register in the Parish Office during office hours:
Monday – Thursday: 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and
Fridays: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM
In order to be registered for CCD, parents will need to fill out a registration form and provide:
$40.00 Book fee in cash or check
$25.00 Non-participation fee (if parents have not been registered at Our Lady of Fatima for a year)
A copy of their child's Baptism Certificate
Attend the first class on Wednesday, September 8th, 2021 with their children

lf public health conditions at any time do not permit in-person gatherings, we will continue scheduled classes via video-conferencing in which you will be notified via email.
