Religious Education
in the Domestic Church
According to Church teaching, parents are the first evangelists and catechists for their children.
Parents may wish to provide their children with religious education at home as part of their home-school
curriculum or because it would fit better in their family's schedule.
Family-Based Catechesis is a viable option that counts toward a child's continuity in religious
education.
Parents who choose this option of religious education are asked to register with the DRE at the Parish Office.
In turn, parents are provided with all necessary textbooks by the DRE for a fee of $15 per book.
This option requires consistency from week to week, as parents take about twenty minutes on a day, and at
a time of their own choosing. Parents should guide their child through one lesson per week throughout the course of the program
year.
