RCIA Children

REGISTRATION

Registration is open by application ONLY on our website.

The contributions obtained through registration support our catechesis programs by underwriting the operating costs for the Religious Education Program to accomplish yearly goals.

They are on a FAMILY BASIS, meaning if you have one or more children attending catechesis living in the same household, your registration is called FAMILY. For every student to access their needed resources, there is an additional contribution for books and materials.

Tuition contribution must be paid in full at the time of registration:

SPONSORS

For the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or RCIA Children, a Sponsor is required.

SELECTING YOUR CHILD'S SPONSOR:

“A sponsor needs to be at least sixteen or older, have been confirmed, participate in the blessed Eucharist and live a life of faith. The sponsor CANNOT be the mother or the father”
[C.C.L.874]

Please consider if this person is in fact living the Catholic faith; should be someone special in your Christian life, someone sharing their Love for God.

NO OTHER DENOMINATIONS ARE ACCEPTED FOR SPONSORS

SCHEDULE

Our program follows a weekly lesson plan; parents must call the catechist for the chapter missed or visit the website to check for the chapter missed on the "Lesson Plan". When children return to class, their catechist will provide a chapter review. Catechists keep chapter reviews for all students and keep a record of each student for the class and Mass attendance every week; therefore, children must bring a slip from mass every week.

Monthly performance evaluations will be sent to parents by the catechists. This report will include class and Mass attendance with recommendations from the catechists. For students’ performance below 60 or behavior issues, a parent-catechist meeting will follow with the Program Coordinator and Director.

ATTENDANCE

Children must be on time for classes and leave school premises on time for their safety. Parents must observe their child’s selected program schedule. The Mass attendance will be taken from the children offertory envelopes given during Parent Orientation day.

ABSENCES: 3 absences or more may delay receiving the sacraments.
Parents must send an excuse note to catechists on the day reported via email.

TARDY: 3 times tardy is considered one day absent.
