    ​
    Children's faith education starts at the very beginning, in your homes with parents sharing our faith heritage. At St. Albert Newman parish we work to continue that education in a dynamic way. 


    We offer Religious Education for children from 3 years old through the 5th grade:
    • Liturgy of the Word for Children - is on Sunday during the 8:30 am and 11:00 am Mass to help children  better understand the Sunday readings and how they can put God's Word into action in their lives.
    • Sacramental Preparation for Children - is the process of welcoming all young people to prepare for and celebrate the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation.
    • Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults for Children (RCIA for Children) - is for children seven years of age or older who have not been baptized; have been baptized in another Christian tradition; or have not had sacramental preparation at the traditional grade levels. 
    • Vacation Bible School - is a week-long summer camp for children ages 4 years to grade 5.  Music, crafts, Scripture, prayer, and play are all important components of Sacred Heart's Vacation Bible School.
    It is our hope that these programs assist you, as your child's first catechist.
