Marriage Preparation
Please contact the Parish Office 8-12 months before your wedding date. The Parish will assist you with Pre-Marriage Classes and other required preparations for the sacrament of Matrimony.

Religious Education Classes
Education classes are open to all children attending public schools, grades 1st to 8th.  Classes are held on Wednesday evenings 6:30-8:00 pm, September to May, at St.ThereseSchool.  There is also a program on Sunday morning 10:00-11:45 am.  Children are prepared to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation, as well, as maintain their yearly catechesis and study of the Catholic faith.

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA)
The RCIA Classes meet every Tuesday evening from the first week in October to the Easter Vigil, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm in the church hall.  The class consists of instruction for adults who wish to come into full communion with the Catholic Church, either through Baptism or entrance from another faith, and preparation of baptized Catholics who have not received the sacrament of Eucharist, Reconciliation and Confirmation.  It is also a wonderful opportunity for all Catholics to learn more about their faith.  The instruction in the faith is presented in a way that is understandable and meaningful to all who attend.
