Dear Parents and Guardians:

Religious Education Registration for the 2026-2027 year will open March 1, 2026 - March 15, 2026

THERE WILL BE A $10 LATE FEE FOR ALL WHO REGISTER AFTER MARCH 15

There is no homeschool option for our Religion program. We truly feel that being present in face to face formation, fellowship and worship is the best way to reach everyone in an intentional way.

Incoming Kindergarten-9th grade will attend religious education June 15-18 and June 22-25 (Monday - Thursday) from 8:30 am - noon

Attendance is mandatory for all grade levels. We do understand that this will be difficult for some families and we appreciate your openness and patience in this process.

*IF HAVE AN INCOMING 7TH-9TH GRADER, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO REGISTER FOR CONFIRMATION. This is a seperate registration form below.

The Confirmation Plan for St. Anne, Assumption & St. Philomena is as follows:

As we mentioned last year, the Bishop made the announcement that our Diocese has prayerfully made the decision to lower the age of Confirmation from 11th Grade to 7th Grade. This is to allow our young people the opportunity to be equipped with the fullness of the Holy Spirit as they navigate their young life. During the 2026-2027 year, we will prepare all incoming 7th-9th Graders to confirm in January 2027 (and any 10th and 11th graders that still need Confirmation)

Confirmation Prep Registration will also be open for incoming 7th-9th graders March 1, 2026 - March 15, 2026. There will be a $35 Sacramental Prep Fee. This helps cover costs of retreat and any guest speakers.

Due to prepping multiple grade levels this year and the projected large group of candidates, we will only be able to accept candidates that are registered parishioners of St. Anne, Assumption of the B.V.M. and St. Philomena.

We will have a parent meeting in the coming months to explain in better detail. That date will be coming once registration closes.

Faith Formation

The Church's catechetical mission aims to help the faithful of all ages to grow in both human and Christian maturity, enriching the whole of life with the leaven of the Gospel. Consequently, appropriate goals and content will embrace all the faith dimensions of an adult life—for example, understanding and communicating the faith, skills needed for personal growth, the experience of family life, relationships, public service, and concern for the common good.

Liturgy of the Hours

The Liturgy of the Hours, also known as the Divine Office or the Work of God (Opus Dei), is the daily prayer of the Church, marking the hours of each day and sanctifying the day with prayer. The Hours are a meditative dialogue on the mystery of Christ, using scripture and prayer. At times the dialogue is between the Church or individual soul and God; at times it is a dialogue among the members of the Church; and at times it is even between the Church and the world. The Divine Office "is truly the voice of the Bride herself addressed to her Bridegroom. It is the very prayer which Christ himself together with his Body addresses to the Father." (SC 84) The dialogue is always held, however, in the presence of God and using the words and wisdom of God. Each of the five canonical Hours includes selections from the Psalms that culminate in a scriptural proclamation. The two most important or hinge Hours are Morning and Evening Prayer. These each include a Gospel canticle: the Canticle of Zechariah from Luke 1:68-79 for Morning Prayer (known as the Benedictus), and the Canticle of Mary from Luke 1:46-55 for Evening Prayer (known as the Magnificat). The Gospel canticle acts as a kind of meditative extension of the scriptural proclamation in light of the Christ event. Morning and Evening Prayer also include intercessions that flow from the scriptural proclamation just as the Psalms prepare for it.
