Effective Religious Education is rooted in a deeply Catholic family life.  Parents form the faith of their child by recognizing the person of Jesus as the center of the family, by adhering to Gospel values and the teachings of the Church, by praying together regularly in the home, by participating in the sacramental life of the parish, especially Sunday Eucharistic Liturgy, and by participating in the life and mission of the parish and of the Church.  St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish invites you and your family to explore learning about the Good News of Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith.  Consider growing in faith together with us!

For 2022-2023 Seton Religious Education Program is offering a choice between two basic approaches of weekly Religious Education for children/youth.  With both approaches your child will receive 90 minutes of religious education a week for 30 weeks from September through May.  They are: 

+ Weekly Onsite Parish Religious Education:
We are opening faith formation to children entering Pre K and Kindergarten in September.

• Level 1-8 Sundays 8:30am-11:30am, twice a month, includes attending 9:30am Family Mass
• Level Pre K-8 Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday 4:30pm-6pm.
• Level 7-8 Wednesday Evening 6:30-8pm

+ Family-Based Parish Religious Education for Levels 4, 5 and 6 only, which combines at-home learning led by the parent and with oversight by a catechist through the direction of the Coordinator of Religious Education.  My Catholic Faith Delivered, online learning curriculum where the children access the same course material traditionally delivered in books. Key features: self-paced, independent learning anywhere and anytime / Engaging content with age appropriate videos, games, music / Full voiceovers for text, especially helpful to children with special needs / Instant test results and feedback / Prayers.

Special Needs Faith Formation:  Day/Time to be determined, based upon the child’s learning needs.  We want to meet them wherever they are in their journey of faith.
