Religious Education in English

Religious Education in English takes place every Sunday after the 9:30 am English mass. The classes start at 10:45 am and last about 60 min. The schedule follow the ISS calendar regarding classes and breaks.

The classes will start again in September 2025.

​

The classes are held by volunteer parents and members of the parish. Their mission is faith formation. The courses are heavily focused on teaching the four pillars of the faith: prayer, the Creed, the 10 Commandments, the sacraments. This journey in the catholic faith is to be shared and lived in family and with the others parish members.
