Annual Calendar

Welcome to Religious Education at Church of the Holy Spirit!  We help children in non-parochial schools and their families grow in their relationship with Jesus, the teachings of the Church and how to live their Catholic faith.

We offer classes for grades one through eight on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and on Tuesday and Wednesday evening. All classes include textbook learning, faith sharing, audio/visual lessons and service opportunities.  The Program offers special liturgies, devotions, Penance services and retreats.

We are planning the calendar for the 2020-21 Religious Education year.  In-person classes will begin the first week of October.  Due to social distancing and building capacity regulations, we will schedule students to come once a month on a rotating schedule through January.  The other weeks will be at home lessons.  Following Archdiocesan and NYS guidelines, we will reevaluate how students attend class at the end of December.  Of course, we will need to be flexible should it be necessary to make changes.  The calendar will be emailed.

After careful consideration, we have decided not to livestream classes.  Archdiocesan Safe Environment regulations dictate that a parent must be present with the child for the entire livestream class and the parish must have two adults on our end.  Students will be given an assignment (digital/textbook/project) on the day they are scheduled to attend class and have until the following week to complete the work.  We feel this is the best way to accommodate school, family, and work schedules.  Of course, should anyone need assistance, we will be most happy to help.  Weekly assignments will be reviewed by catechists.

Please let us know, as soon as possible, if you carpool with anyone so we can plan your child's schedule.  If you decide to have your child do at home lessons only, please let us know as soon as possible.  We will schedule pick up dates for the textbooks, etc. for the last week of September.

If you would like more information,  please call the Religious Education Office.
