All are welcome to participate in faith formation at Christ the Redeemer. The Religious Education Department and Catechetical Ministry Team at Christ the Redeemer directly serves families of children Prescool* (age 3 and up) through 6th grade.
*Preschool will work out of the Kindergarten textbook.
The mission of Christ the Redeemer’s Religious Education program is to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the families by forming the faith of the children through the process of religious education. At the same time, we accompany, evangelize, and catechize the parents who are primarily responsible for raising their children in the faith.
Through the formation process the families will continue to seek, know, and love God and because of that love will live each day serving God and neighbor. Through lives committed to prayer, sacraments, formation, and service, they learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and invite others to do the same.
For the 2024-25 Catechetical Year, we will offer traditional classroom sessions as well as a home-based option for families to ensure all children in grades PreK3-6th are being served.
We are always in need of many catechetical ministers to give a weekly commitment to help in the classroom. We will offer all of the training needed and assist all our ministers throughout the year. If you are interested in joining the ministry, please email Adilene Huff at [email protected].
The Religious Education Department communicates to our families via Flocknote, the parish email and text messaging system. Sign up to learn more about how to get involved in our program.
By virtue of Baptism, each person plays a role in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. This year the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 15, 2024 with a theme of: “Lord, when did we see you hungry?"
This year's theme reflects our call to missionary discipleship. As St. John Paul II reminded us: The universal call to holiness is closely linked to the universal call to mission. Every member of the faithful is called to holiness and to mission. We are called to be eucharist by word and action to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Our times cry out for this kind of holiness, one inflamed by the ardent determination to bring as many of our brothers and sisters as possible to Christ.
We invite you to join us this year as Catechetical Ministers. To find out more about this
wonderful ministry, please reach out to [email protected] or 281-469-5533.
