Religious Education
Avalanche Ranch Flyer & Registration
Mission Statement
We are a community of families whose children attend the public school and
return to the parish on either Sunday mornings or Monday evenings to break
open the Word of God, learn our faith traditions, and discover God's work in
our lives. Our children are assigned to classes of no more than 15
students under the direction of a faith-filled catechist. Our
catechists are faith-filled volunteers who have expressed the desire to
serve God through this catechetical ministry. Some have children in
our program; some are young adults - married and single. Some classes
are led by team catechists. All catechists love children, love to
laugh, and are either certified or working towards Archdiocesan
Certification. Parents are encouraged to take an active role in our
program by reviewing lessons and homework and by volunteering time as an
office helper, substitute catechist, or hall monitor.
Pat Kahl is the Director of Religious Education. She can be reached at
708-352-2383 or send an email. |

Religious Education Board
Comprised of parents, parishioners, and the director of religious education, the
intent is to more effectively enable students who attend public schools to feel
spiritual depth and belonging within the parish community. We provide
recommendations for religious educational support and direction. We hope
to inspire and enrich our children and their parents to truly become a family of
faith.
Early Childhood Program
This program provides beginning religious instruction to children ages 3 to 5. Songs, crafts and stories are used to instill a sense of community and introduce these young members of our parish to Jesus’ word.
Contact person is Mary Ellen Staelgraeve at 708-352-7693.
R.C.I.A.
The R.C.I.A. Program is a process that helps inquiring adults learn more about
the Catholic faith. In questioning their faith and joining others, they
learn and discover principles of our faith and church. After inquiring
about the Catholic Church, individuals commit their desire to become Catholic.
Members are received into the Church at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.
Contact Person is Pat Kahl at 708-352-2383 and Brad Markham at 708-482-7061. |
