Religious Education for the Children of the Parish
The Religious Education Program, which runs from first grade through grade eight, is one of the largest religious education programs in the nation.  The goal of the program is to provide formal religious training formation and sacramental preparation to supplement the religious training that parents, by their word and example, provide to the youth of the parish.  Four full-time staff members and over 75 volunteer catechists work with over 950 students in classes that are held in the Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School
