The Religious Education Program follows the Religion Curriculum established by the Diocese of Trenton. We use the textbook series Alive In Christ for grades 1-6, published by Our Sunday Visitor. Alive in Christ has an interactive website that can help you with your child’s religious education. The link to the website is http://aliveinchrist.osv.com/family. Grade 2 is a Sacramental year in which the students are prepared for the Sacrament of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.
Each student will receive an Alive in Christ text book in grades 1-6 at the beginning of the year if a new one is needed the cost of replacement $20. Bibles are given out in grade 6 if Bibles need to be replaced the cost is $6.
The family life program helps foster personal growth, Catholic moral development, and a respect for life. Centering on five themes of God’s gifts – family, self, life, love, and community – the program at each grade level helps families to see, internalize and act upon values for Catholic family living. This program will be taught to all grades and it will take place during a period set aside in January/February each year.
