Goals

 

    We believe that all of life is a learning experience.  Our faith is a very important part of this learning experience.

  • To provide religious formation which is consistent with the basic traditions and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church as reflected in Vatican II, The New Catechism, and The General Directory for Catechesis.
  • To provide the opportunity to experience the rich sacramental life of the church which can nourish and sustain our lives.
  • To actively involve the parents in all aspects of the Religious Education Program.
  • To proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

 

 

Policies

 

      Attendance

     Regular and prompt attendance is necessary for proper learning.  Each class is important for the continued faith development of your child.

 

     Absence

     If  your child is ill and not able to attend class, PLEASE CALL the Religious Education Office (771-5959) before the class begins.  We are concerned about your child's whereabouts. 

     When a child is absent, all work must be made up.  If a student is abset more than three times, advancement to the next grade may be in question.

 

     Discipline

     We ask your cooperation in maintaining an efficient and consistent form of disciplne.  The children will be responsible for their own behavior.  They learn that the observance of rules is a safeguaqrd to their liberties and not a curbing of them.  Any student who uses abusive or vulgar language, speaks out of turn or is rude or disruptive in class, will be sent to the office.  The parent or guardian will be notified and the child will be given one more chance to resolve the problem, or the parent will be asked to instruct the child at home.

 

     Attire

     The students should come to class dressed appropriately.  ALL should dress in a manner that speaks of respect for self and for others.  Attire is important to the learning process.

 

     Attitude

     Respect is a necessary quality that should be expressed.  All students are expected to address teachers and other adults by their proper title; i.e. Mr., Mrs., Miss, Father, Sister, etc.  When a student is addressed he/she should respond in a courteous manner, without comments, signs, abusive or vulgar language.

 

     Prayer

     Each student has received a Handbook of Prayers that is appropriate for him/her to know at each grade level.  Parents are expected to help their child learn these prayers by praying at home and at Mass with them.  We will not memorize prayers during class time.

 

  

Religious Education Advisory Board 

 

    Members of The Saint Luke Religious Education Advisory Board assist the Director of the Religious Education Program and the Associate Pastor in procedure and policies for the Religious Education Program.  Fundraising efforts and issues that require immediate attention are also addressed. 

     If you have an interest in joining this Board, please call Debi DeMario at 708-771-5959.
