Immaculate Conception Parish and St. Jude Mission Church

All those involved in our religious education programs form a community of faith; children, parents, catechists, staff, and our church. Together we assist children and young people to grow in intimacy with Jesus. Together we can help them develop a love of their faith and encourage them to increasingly be able to make informed and mature responses to that faith. Register today and give your child the gift of a lifetime. Help them nurture their faith and recognize the presence of Christ in themselves and others.

There are two (2) components of Primary Faith Formation at Immaculate Conception Parish/St. Jude Mission Church:

The first component is Religious Education Catechesis. You choose which ONE of the two following programs best fits your family schedule:

• Academy of Faith (Summer Program)

This is a one-week intense program that runs the last full week of June from 9:00 am until 3:30 pm. The children have religious education classes, games, music and arts/crafts.

• Fall Program

This is a hybrid program combining classroom catechesis and at-home activiites. It runs from September through the beginning of April. 

The second component is the Academy Card.

• Each year you will receive a list of events to choose from. You MUST complete at least five (5) events.

 The Academy Card events run from the end of September through the middle of April. These are family events and at least one parent/guardian must attend with their child.

No matter which of the first components your family chooses to attend, BOTH components MUST be completed to fulfill the yearly diocesan requirements for Religious Education.

There will be a closing celebration for ALL Primary Faith Religious Education Programs on the last Wednesday Evening in April. Completion certificates will be issued at that time for all those who completed each component of any one of the above program options.

Please make sure you are signed up for Flocknote, as this is our method of communicating and keeping you up to date with information, cancelations, or any other needs that arise.
