Welcome to St. Patrick's Religious Education Program
Information & Registration Page
(718-979-1272/religioused@stpatrickssi.org)
Thank you for your interest and commitment in enrolling your child(ren) in St. Patrick's Religious Education (RE) program for children in 1st through 8th Grade (8th Grade is two months only). Children will receive a vibrant, joyful foundation in the faith. Class size is small (20 students, often much smaller), and our Volunteer Catechists are experienced and caring. Sending your child(ren) to Religious Ed every year from 1st through 8th Grades helps secure them a solid foundation in the faith and helps qualify them to receive their Sacraments on time with their peers.
We're beginning, this Fall, classes for children with Special Needs, which will address their individual needs in a small, nurturing group setting as they learn about the faith and are prepared to receive their Sacraments.
Religious Education Classes for All Grades are
Tuesday afternoons, 4-5:30 pm, September through end of May.
(Classes for children with documented Special Needs will be 60 minutes. )
All classes begin Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
Required Meeting for Parents of 1st Graders and All New Students will be held at the beginning of the School Year 7:30 pm, in the Worship Center; date to be announced. 1st graders and New Students are not considered fully registered until/unless parent attends this meeting.
Before (Re) Registering your child/children, please be sure that you and they will not have a scheduling conflict for the entire 90 minutes. Late registration does not guarantee a space for your child in the incoming class.
