The traditional classroom program for elementary school children provides an opportunity for those in grades K-5 to come together in a community of faith to learn about Catholicism. Materials and activities are developmentally appropriate for each grade level and attempt to help the child learn about God, the Catholic Church, and his/her own faith. Each class is led by at least one adult catechist and most will also have one aide, either an adult or a teenager. There are 3 sessions: Sunday afternoon (4:00-5:30pm), Sunday evening (6:00-7:30pm), and Monday evening (6:00-7:30pm). There are 19 classes divided into 2 semesters. The classes are 1-1/2 hours in length and are held in Resurrection/St. Paul School building. Full participation in the program is essential. If absences are necessary, only 4 are allowed for the entire year. If a child has 5 or more absences, the year will be considered incomplete.
