We understand the importance of training our children and youth “in the way they should go” (Proverbs 22:6), and we provide a variety of classes, programs, and opportunities for religious education at home, at church, and at a Catholic School. On this page you’ll find details about church-based programs for grades K–10. We also have a Homeschool page with materials for religious home-based learning.

Classes for the 2023-24 School Year are under way.  Grades K-6 meet in Sunday mornings. Baptim certificates are required for all students. You must be a member of the parish to enroll your child in our program.  We offer religious education classes for elementary-aged children not enrolled In the catholic school. Contact Diana Wake in the parish office 910.692.6613 ext 224 if you have any questions. 

Two years prepartion are required for these sacraments. Students generally recieve First Communion in the second grade provided they begin preparation as they enter the first grade. A copy of your child’s Baptismal certificate is required. If you have a child in the third grade or above who have not received their First Communion please let Diana Wake know so your child can begin preparing to receive the sacrament.  Home-schooled parents should let Mrs. Wake know at the beginning of the school year that they have a child preparing for their sacraments.

Our volunteer catechists, catechist aides, substitutes, and youth ministry assistant/chaperones teach our faith and support our youth in their journey K–10. We need catechist assistants for this school year. It takes many volunteers to keep the youth education programs running smoothly. All volunteers are required to attend Safe Environment Training in the Diocese and undergo a full back ground check.       To learn more about what you can do, contact Diana Wake  by phone at (910) 692.6613, ext. 224.
