St. Katharine Drexel Mission offers faith formation classes for children in grades 1-Confirmation through our Religious Education Program. As parents, you are the primary teachers of passing the Catholic faith to your children. Our program serves to supplement those teachings using the Diocesan curriculum and supplemental materials.
Religious Education Class Information
Our classes for the 2023-2024 school year will run from September 10, 2023 through May 19, 2024 and are held at Battlefield High School on Sunday mornings from 9:10 – 10:15 AM. Through the program, children will learn what it means to be a faith-filled Catholic and how they can apply these values to their everyday lives.
