This year the Religious Education team has decided to offer classes using a hybrid model. The majority of classes will take place virtually via a Zoom platform. We will begin classes on September 13th. Classes will be held virtually from 6:30 - 7:30.
In Person Events
There will be some events which will be held in person at St. Mary's Church. These events will be special classes held on a voluntary basis in the church to ensure social distancing and masks must be worn. They are not mandatory, however when presented we will live stream them on Facebook for your students to see if they feel more comfortable at home.
"The Chosen"
This year students will be studying the lessons presented in the television series "The Chosen". It is a TV show about Jesus. The episodes are completely free to watch on the app and it connects directly to streaming devices with no fee or subscription. We hope our students get a lot out of this series and hopefully it will prompt some interesting discussions.
There are two options available to watch this free series.
St Mary's youth groups offer an opportunity for our youth to make new friends and share their faith with their peers. All middle school and high school students are welcome to join us throughout the year. We have programs for both middle and high schoolers and they meet on different evenings.

Throughout their time in our youth program, students will share their time with our parish, the Catholic Church, and the community itself. This service remindes us that we are the hands and feet of Christ in the world. When you serve, you are taking part in a lifelong, Catholic tradition of sharing your time and talents with others. As Jesus said, “For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45).
