CHECK OUT THE SAINT ANN FACEBOOK PAGE FOR THE 9 AM LIVE STREAM MASS.  

The Religious Education Program is designed to help form our youth in prayer, virtue and the life of the Church.  It is our hope that these ideals will enhance each child’s experience in the program, maximize their learning, and, above all else, allow for true encounters with Christ’s love.  That is why we offer classes for children ages 5-17 years old.  By enrolling your child every year, you are providing them a strong understanding of their religion.  There is more to know, understand, and believe in the Catholic faith, than just Communion and Confirmation.  

Due to limited teachers this year, Communion and Confirmation is a one year program.
(This will most likely change next year.)
Your child(ren) must meet the minimum age requirements listed below before April.

Please prepare and plan accordingly. ​

• Communion: The earliest a child can receive Communion is age 8 (2nd grade).  
• Confirmation: The earliest a child can receive Confirmation is age 14 (8th grade) and have already received                                                 First Holy Communion.

Of course, if your child is older and needs one of these sacraments, we will still be able to accommodate them.

If you have questions about the Catholic Faith, you can always research the Vatican website and view the Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
