St. Paul Religious Ed Registration Form
2016-2017 Religious Ed & Youth Group Schedule
The Parish Religious Education Program (PRE) at Saint Paul is open to all children of our parish from ages 3 years to 12th grade to assist parents with educating their children in our Catholic Faith. We offer preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in 2nd grade and the Sacrament of Confirmation in 11th grade.
Saint Paul subscribes to the methodology of the “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd” a sensorially rich experience for children beginning at age 3. Its goal is to give children the opportunity to grow in love and knowledge of God through the Christian tradition using the Bible, the liturgy of the church and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an “atrium,” a room prepared for them, which contains simple yet beautiful materials they use to help them absorb the most essential proclamations of the Christian faith.
Ages 3 years – 6th grade meet on Sunday mornings @ 9:15 am
7th – 12th grades meet on Wednesday evenings @ 6:00 pm.
All parents and adults are welcome to an adult program on Sunday mornings @ 9:15 am during the children's religious ed hour. There is no registration for the adult class, simply join us in Room 107. This class follows the children's Religious Ed Schedule.
Youth Group is a Big Deal. Join us on Wednesday nights!

In today’s Gospel, Jesus says: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
I will be honest—while these words can sound comforting, there were times when I thought them also a bit of a joke—the not-so-funny kind. What part of “take up your cross daily” is restful? Or “be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect?” Or “go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature?” Saint resumes are rarely short.
Yet over the years, I’ve come to see what I could not earlier: the yoke is the rest. To allow ourselves to be yoked to Jesus—to labor only with Him and for Him—is the ultimate rest. What does this mean? ... See MoreSee Less

She prophetically incarnated the intrinsic unity between love of God and love of neighbor. She was clear where that synthesis came from: living a truly Eucharistic life.
“The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth.”
She begged the archbishop, “One thing I request of you, Your Grace, is to give us all the spiritual help we need. If we have Our Lord in the midst of us, with daily Mass and Holy Communion, I fear nothing for the sisters nor myself. He will look after us. But without him I cannot be. I am helpless.”
“People ask,” she confessed, “Where do the sisters get the joy and the energy to do what they are doing?” She replied, “The Eucharist.” At the 1976 Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia, she elaborated on that source of power: “To be able to live this life … we need our life to be woven with the Eucharist. That’s why we begin our day with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. With him, we go forward.”
She spoke of the benefits: “Nowhere on earth are we more welcomed or loved than by Jesus in Eucharist. When you look at the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you. When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves you now."
