High School Aides Needed

Our Religious Education Program is in need of volunteer High School Aides for our classes on Tuesday afternoons, from 4–5:30 PM. Assisting our Catechists with the younger children is very rewarding, and Community Service hours can be earned. Please call us at 279-6098 or email us at slotreled@comcast.net.

News from Religious Education

Our Religious Education Program was off to a wonderful start. In the summer, after much preparation, our Catechists and classes were in place. Our Program has 77 Catechists and 18 High School Aides. Before classes began, our Catechists attended a Workshop, which included Mass and breakfast. We have over 650 students that attend one of our five weekly sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Classes are 90 minutes in length and begin in Church with a lesson taught by one of our Priests or Deacons before students proceed to the school classrooms.
