2020-2021 Calendar HERE

As all teachers are using one Zoom account from which to hold lessons, we've had to adjust our class schedule in order to accommodate all grades. The first class for grades 1-4 will be on Sunday, September 20, 2020. The first class for grades 5-8 (including Confirmation students) will be on Sunday, September 27, 2020. Please refer to the calendar for details. Please also note the different class times, as not every class will be at the same time of day.

If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Director of Religious Education, Meghan Cade, at [email protected] or 703-772-7917.

What is Religious Education?

Often known as Sunday School or CCD, Religious Education offers programs for children to come learn about their Catholic faith.  Starting with 1st grade, children attend classes led by knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and practicing Catholic teachers (Catechists) who not only prepare their pupils to receive sacraments but also help them understand the basis of their faith and the importance of God in their lives.  Religious Education fulfills the fundamental need for children to learn the vitality of our faith in a concrete and organized way.

Our Religious Education program includes preparing 2nd grade students to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and Communion, and 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students to receive Confirmation.  Has your child not been baptized? Are they in middle school and still haven't made their First Communion? Do not fear!  We can help you and your child through any prerequisites at your convenience.

Students in our Religious Education program will grow in grace as they enrich their faith, learn to serve one another, and expand their knowledge of God’s enduring love. If you are interested in enrolling your child, whether to receive necessary sacraments or simply to continue their Catholic development, please contact Meghan Cade, our Director of Religious Education, at [email protected] or 703-772-7917.

We are also blessed to have a Parish School.  Many families choose our school as the way in which their children are educated in the Catholic faith.  Please feel free to contact the school at 862-6696 with any questions or to schedule a visit.

If you are interested in becoming a Religious Education Teacher or a classroom assistant, please speak with Meghan. We would be happy to have your gifts and talents to further the education of our children in the faith!
