RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

We welcome all families into our Religious Education Program 2024/2025.

This program is a tool for Christ the Redeemer parishioners to be a family-oriented church. Our program relies on parents/guardians to play the primary role in educating their children. That's why we want to support parents/guardians as the principal catechists of their children, and the main teachers of the faith.

Catechetical Sunday (September 15th, 2024) is a day when our dedicated catechists are commissioned to teach the Good News. Classes will resume on October 1st, 2024, from 5:30 to 6:45 PM at Christ the King School.

Students must be registered to our Religious Ed (See Registration Link). If you encounter any difficulties in using or registering as a new/returning student, please notify the parish office at 908-725-0072 and we will assist you ASAP. The student with the assistance of their parent/guardian (and catechist if needed) is responsible for completing the work and turning it in each week in a timely manner.

Additionally, to maintain sacramental unity on several Tuesday’s at 5:30PM at Sacred Heart Church we will celebrate the Mass for our students, parents/guardians, and teachers (See Religious Ed Schedule). This is in alliance with National Eucharistic Revival Program and a great opportunity to renew our understanding of the Eucharist and foster a deeper, more intimate relationship with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Through active participation in the Eucharist our belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist grows stronger every day.

Please remember that you are always in our prayers. We are certain that this year will be valuable to all of us. Let us embrace the will of God and have a safe and healthy catechetical and school year!

“Parents are the primary educators of their children. Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2226)
