Religious Education

Introduction                    

The person and message of Jesus provides the foundation upon which a life of faith, hope and love is built. As a community of faithful, we are called to proclaim and teach God’s word, celebrate the sacred mysteries and serve others. 

The Religious Education program of the parishes of Galena serve to educate the children of our parishes in our shared Catholic faith, in conformity with the teachings of the universal church. In accordance with the Diocese of Rockford guidelines, The Parishes of Galena provides instruction for children in both the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Sacramental Preparation as well. Our Religious Education is a program of Catholic education and formation for students in grades one through eight.

The parish community comprised of our three churches strive to make religious education a lifelong process that will guide your children into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. Below you will find the links to begin this wonderful journey of catechesis.
