This Mass will meet their Sunday obligation.
Parents may register their children by clicking the registration link below. A child entering the Kindergarten program must be 5 years of age by October 1st of the current school year. A certificate of Baptism must be provided at the time of registration if the Sacrament was received in a parish other than OLM. When registering older children, proof of prior religious education and Sacramental history must be provided at the time of registration. Students are required to complete one year of religious instruction before entering the Sacramental preparation of First Reconciliation and First Holy Eucharist in Grade 2.
Please note that re-registrations will not be accepted after October 15th.
Classes in the Religious Education Program offer instruction in Catholic doctrine, Scripture, morality, and the experience of prayer. However, the family is the primary setting in which faith is shared and nurtured. Parental faith sharing is the foundation of OLM's Religious Education Program. The staff at OLM depends on parents to discuss weekly lessons with their children at home, to pray with their children and to bring their children to Mass each week. Mass attendance along with Religious Education classes comprise a complete and truly successful religious education!
