The Saint Andrew Religious Education program is now accepting new registrations for the 2025-2026 academic year. Be sure to review the schedule and philosophy of our program to know how it will impact your child and family schedules. Thank you for your interest in teaching your child about God’s love for them!
About the Program
Saint Andrew Religious Education (RE) offers a family-centered religious education program for children K – 8 (see visual representation of the model).
The flexibility offered through this model makes religious education effective and vibrant even in the midst of changing schedules. Any student and family can participate remotely at any time. Our model offers flexibility to kids and families who may have vacations, sports, grandparents to visit, etc. It has also been proven as a way of having families grow together in religious literacy and faith.
General Information: RE K-8
For the 2025-26 academic year – K-6th grades will meet on Sundays from 10:00am to 10:50am and 7 & 8th grades (including both their Religious Education classes and Sacramental preparation classes ) will be on Sunday afternoons/evenings. Seventh graders will meet from 3:30pm to 4:45pm and eight graders will meet from 6:00pm to 7:15pm.
Second graders will have additional meetings on Sundays at 10:00am to accommodate for their preparation for First Communion.
Were excited to offer this program at our parish because of its proven approach-ability and adaptability for families. We hope you’ll join us in this journey!
