“Be Prayerful, Be Sacramental, Be convinced of the love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit!” The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.” Plutarch
The Church firmly believes that Parents are the primary educators of their children’s faith formation. The Parish Religious Education Program (PREP/CCD) invites children in First through 8th grade to attend classes on Sunday mornings 10:25- 11:25. These classes meet in the school building Sept. – March. Registration available online. Mail or drop off payment to the Parish office. Forms are also available in the vestibules of church and the Parish office.
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
SEE FORMS BELOW.
Children attending Kindergarten in public school are encouraged to participate in religious instruction through the Children’s Liturgy, available at 9:30 Mass on Sunday.

Sacramental Preparation
Catholic School students in grades 2, and 7/8 (only) who are being prepared for Penance , Eucharist and Confirmation in school are NOT required to attend the workshop retreats, you are, however, more than invited to attend, and it would probably be a good idea to attend the first one. (There is only One for Penance with practice at the end of the workshop). You must make the scheduled practice. Mark your calendars!
Parents must attend the Parent Meeting for the Sacrament.
Please pick up a bulletin for needed information.
SACRAMENT INFORMATION
It is standard policy for the reception of First Holy Communion, First Reconciliation, and Confirmation to be in the home parish no matter what school the child is attending. Legitimate exceptions are processed through the pastor, Fr. Heron.
Let us remember…. the celebration of the Eucharist is the summit of our identity as the People of God. Attendance at Sunday Mass is vital to the life of the community at St. Matthew’s. Hope to see you there every Sunday!!!
God Bless!
