OUR MISSION:

The Religious Education department exists to assist parents in their vocation as primary educators of their children by offering a program of catechesis faithful to the teachings of the Magisterium of The Catholic Church and fostering a relationship with Jesus Christ.  

2017-18 REGISTRATION:

Sacred Heart Religious Education is excited to offer TWO options for registration for the 2017-18 Faith Formation Year.

2. Click HERE to fill out the form online, which will be emailed directly to the DRE. (Any “donation” can be placed in an envelope and slipped under my door as well.)

HOME-BASED CATECHESIS:

The Bishop of Raleigh supports those parents who wish to provide home-based catechesis for their children. Home-based catechesis denotes that a family is assuming responsibility for religious instruction and formation in the home, as is their right. However, it is important to keep in mind that homes based catechesis of children is the cooperative effort between the children, their parents, parish leadership, and the diocesan bishop.

While children in home-based catechesis are not required to attend parish programs, it is strongly suggested that they participate in parish sacramental preparation in order to share faith with their peers and grow in their understanding of the life of the parish community.

Those who wish to utilize home-based catechesis must fill out a registration form and make a note of their decision.
