Religious Education

Our religious education program fosters a growing love of our Catholic faith, knowledge of its fundamental truths, and encourages a life of prayer.  This year we are excited to roll out a new offering for our Religious Education program! We will be using Faith & Life from My Catholic Faith Delivered, utilizing both online teaching at home and in-person teaching at the parish. The program includes the same content as the excellent Faith and Life curriculum we have been using in years past from Ignatius Press. My Catholic Faith Delivered (MCFD) is an award-winning cloud-based learning platform that enriches our faith and makes teaching options more versatile. MCFD provides the Online Faith & Life Series for religious education which is recognized as being in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church by the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.  Students access the same course material online that is traditionally delivered in books. Materials are "brought to life" with the addition of videos, games, music, and assessments that provide immediate feedback.

Our program this year will be offered in a "flipping the classroom" format where the traditional weekly in class work of reading the text and completing written assignments are done at home online. The students will meet in person bi-weekly at OSP where the materials learned will be reinforced with activities, sacred art and music, and putting the learning into practice.

Classes meet bi- weekly between Sunday Masses beginning at 9:15am in the parish hall.  Registration is $35 per child with a maximum of $105 per family. Contact Kari Kummet, Coordinator of RE, kari@stpatricka2.org or  (734)-662-8141 with any questions.

All those with children preparing for a sacrament should fill out a 2020-2021 registration form. Even if a child won’t be in religious education classes, everyone receiving a sacrament in the spring of 2021 needs to be registered for the sacraments by the start of the school year in September. Please see our FIRST COMMUNION and CONFIRMATION pages for more information on sacramental preparation.
