Religious Education Registration

It's time to register your children for Religious Education classes for the 2017-18 school year. We look forward to seeing all of you. Please remember that certain sessions fill up quickly, so early registration is highly recommended. We can more easily accommodate your preference if you register promptly. Please check the letter that we mailed with the registration forms for information on a special early registration offer. If you did not receive it, please call us (587-4372).

All registration forms are available here for your convenience. You may print the registration form and either mail it or drop it off at the parish office. Please note that if you have a Pre-K or Kindergarten student entering Religious Education classes, you may print the PreK registration form or New Student Registration form or call our office to register your child.

Attention all parents whose children are attending Trenton Catholic Academy: If your child is in 2nd, 7th, or 8th grade, please make sure that you register him or her for ssacramental preparation. The registration forms are available here and at the TCA office.

Summer Religious Education

The Summer Program is offered to our parishioners as an alternative to the traditional once-a-week class format that is held from September through May. This year, the Summer Program will be held at Our Lady of Sorrwos School on weekdays from June 22 through July 6, except for July 4 (Independence Day), from 9:00 AM until noon.

The Summer Program seeks to accommodate the busy schedules of our families by eliminating the weekly "shuttling" of children to the parish campus from September through May. Class time is the same as the regular program, but condensed into a two-week period. This "intensive" plan provides for a more focused approach and better retention of the subject matter.

Students will stay "connected" to the parish throughout the year through weekly Mass and by attending 3 catechetical sessions during the Advent, Lent, and Easter seasons. Parental involvement is expected. It is open to students of Grades 3 – 6.

For information and registration forms, please call Mrs. Francis at 587-4372.

Vacation Bible Camp

Our Vacation Bible Camp will be held July 31 to August 4. Registration is now open. If you are interested, please contact our office for details. Thanks.
