Religious Formation Programs

Teaching our future generations the Word of the Lord is one of the pillars within our community. We have a strong education program run by passionate volunteers, wanting to pass along the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. For adults, we have the Rite of Christian Initiation program run by our very own Deacon Paul. The Sundays on which classes are given are always buzzing with excitement.

Registration is now closed for the school year 2023/2024.  The RE classes (including First Holy Communion and Confirmation) are fully subscribed.

Childrens Liturgy Of The Word

We aim to introduce the children to the Liturgy of the Word in the way that it forms part of the “adult” mass. But we do this in a way that engages our kids and makes learning about Jesus fun and exciting. There is no need to register for Children’s Liturgy-the children need only come to the front at the beginning of the mass when Fr. Sjaak calls the children forward.

Religious Education and First Holy Communion

We offer a religious education program for children from Kindergarten (age 5) to age 11. We use the Sadlier “We Believe” program which was developed by nationally recognized experts in catechesis, curriculum, and child development. These teachers of the faith and practitioners helped to frame every lesson to be age-appropriate and appealing. In addition, a team including respected catechetical, liturgical, pastoral, and theological experts shared their insights and inspired the development of this program.

An overview of the available RE classes can be found here.

Registration is now closed for the school year 2023/2024.  The RE classes (including First Holy Communion) are fully subscribed.

Confirmation Program

We offer a Confirmation Program for Teens aged 14 years and up.  The classes are organized in an informal setting and the youth are encouraged to explore and discuss various aspects of our Roman Catholic faith.

Registration is now closed for the school year 2023/2024.  The Confirmation class is fully subscribed.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

For anyone that becomes interested in our Christian faith, we offer an education program for adults led by Deacon Paul. You might be completely new to our faith, you might want to grow your understanding or you might feel the need to deepen your relationship with Christ. Everyone is welcome to attend this program
