If you would like to volunteer to teach or assist with teaching a religious education class in grades 1-8 for the coming year, please Anne Walker at awalker@olom.org or 301-365-1318 x206. Sharing your faith with children is one of the greatest blessings you can imagine. No theology degrees required - all you need is a desire to share your Catholic faith!
Our religious education classes this year are specially designed to provide an excellent educational experience while protecting your safety – and your sanity – as we navigate through the pandemic together.
Overview
Through fifteen fun and easy class sessions spread out over the course of three trimesters, Mercy Fast Pass leaders will coach and empower parents to share their faith with their children and to be partners in their faith education.
Here’s how it works.
