Religious
All students
attending St. Edward Catholic School attend religion classes given at
their grade levels. They also attend Mass and religious services as
deemed appropriate by the pastor, principal, and/or teacher.
Second
grade students are prepared for their first reception of the Sacraments
of Reconciliation (Penance) and the Eucharist. Although the children
receive training in the classroom, the child's religious education is
the primary responsibility of the parents. To assist parents in training
their children for the reception of these sacraments, parents are required
to attend two training sessions. The schedule for parent sessions is
published in advance of these mandatory meetings under the direction
of the parish Director of Religious Education.
Students
who are in grade three or above and have not yet received the Sacraments
of Reconciliation and/or Eucharist will also be prepared for these Sacramental
Encounters, provided parents attend the required training sessions.
