Our family-based, small group religious education model helps families grow and learn together, prepares students for their Sacraments, and lets them feel known and loved through every question, prayer, and doubt along the way.

A PROGRAM FOR ANY AGE
Religious Education (K-8)
Families come together each Sunday to worship God during the 10am and 5pm Masses at Saint Bartholomew’s church. During the readings and homily in the Church, kids and teens will read the readings, watch a short video message related to the homily, and discuss how it relates to their life, all at their own age appropriate level. Kids and teens rejoin their families before the Eucharist.
Then once a month, join us for Family Day after Mass for opportunities to grow in faith and friendship with Jesus and other families!
