A genuine revitalization of catechesis necessitates fresh instructional approaches that enable children, educators, parents, and families to explore their genuine Catholic identity. This would thereby revitalize meaningful engagement in the Church's mission and vitality. The Church must develop innovative catechetical materials to impart doctrinal teachings faithfully and articulate the relevance of faith in contemporary culture.

For the new school year, we have purchased the “Word of Life” religious education program published by the Augustine Institute/Ignatius Press. This program is filled with instructional material and resources for parents to teach and engage with their children in the richness of God’s love based on scripture. Also, for the children/students, online materials such as books, videos, brochures, and stories enrich your child's understanding of God’s love for them.

This program will be utilized by grades 3, 4, and 5, from home, with their parents as the primary instructors. Once a month, parents and children/students will be required to attend class on campus for the parents to have a teach-the-teacher session to learn how and what to teach their children for the remainder of the month.

Grade 6 will continue with the “Traditional” PREP on-campus instruction each week and concentrate on “The Gospel of Matthew.”  It will then journey through key portions of the Old Testament.  Parents are required to attend class with their student(s) once a month.  Parents will have the opportunity to learn what their child will be taught during class, and the parent/child will be encouraged to discuss the topics from classes over the next 3 weeks.
