Elementary School Religious Education (Grades K-8) 

 

Join the RE Connection at BSP!

 

Blessed Sacrament Parish invites all student parishioners grades 1-8 to join our Religious Education Program on Sundays from October through April. Course work, service, social and community opportunities, and prayer are the main components of our program.  Beginning in October and lasting into April your child has the opportunity to break open the Word of God from 10:15 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.  Through class discussion, dramatization, activities, and prayer, he/she  will learn about our Catholic faith, grow together as a child of God, and become aware of his/her connection to the Blessed Sacrament community.  Enroll in the RE Connection and experience our faith in an upbeat, service orientated, and exciting way.  For more information please visit our website at blsacrament.org or contact Mary Jo Vitale at mjvitale@blsacrament.org.

Religious Education Volunteer Opportunities Await You! 

 

The Blessed Sacrament Religious Education Program is growing by leaps and bounds!  Last year enrollment increased by 100% ! As enrollment increases so does the need for volunteers.  We are developing an exciting Religious Education Program and NEED YOUR HELP!  I am asking for classroom teachers (seniors in high school, college students, and adults) as well as student aids (grades 6 through junior in high school) to help share our Catholic faith with students grades 1-8 at Blessed Sacrament Parish.  Many of these opportunities provide service hours for confirmation as well as other service expectations. For additional information contact Mary Jo Vitale at mjvitale@blsacrament.org.

Second Grade - Sacramental Year! 

 

This is a BIG YEAR for your second grader! This year your child will make his/her First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. This sacramental year is important to your child’s faith journey in the Catholic Church. As you are the primary faith educators of your child, I look forward to teaming up with you in providing your child with a strong faith foundation.

 

Mark your calendars for the important dates:

  1. Registration – Be sure to register your child in Blessed Sacrament’s Religious Education Program (registration).

  2. Fees – An additional Sacramental Fee ($45.00) is required which covers the additional materials, reception, and retreat costs.

  3. Parent Meeting – Attend the Sacramental Parent Meeting in October. This meeting will provide you with the background and materials needed to begin your faith journey with your child at home.

  4. Baptismal Certificate – a copy of your child’s baptismal certificate is required before receiving the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Please include a copy of the certificate with your registration materials.

  5. Important Dates to mark on your calendars.

As a member of Blessed Sacrament Parish, all second graders, enrolled in both the school and RE programs, will have many opportunities to interact with each other during their faith journey. Your child will begin to connect with the second graders attending Blessed Sacrament School, by exchanging letters, participating in service and spiritual activities together, and attending a Sacramental Retreat together.

 

If you have an questions, please feel free to contact me @ mjvitale@blsacrament.org or @ (608) 842-7755.

 

May God bless you and your family,
