Religious Education is a program run by the parish to disciple the youth of the Church. 

A child can be registered for classes starting in 1st Grade. Here they begin to learn basic Catechesis and prepare for their First Communion and Reconciliation. 

After two years of preperation, a child is able to receive the sacrament. The years between 2nd and 7th grade are for the formation of the child in Catechesis. 

Note: Religious Education is not just for preparing for the sacraments. Although, classes are necessary in order to receive the sacraments. Religious Education is for the all around faith formation of the youth.
