Religious Education Program
Through faith formation, Our Lady of Mercy's primary aim is to foster each parishioners' relationship with Christ while developing a sense of belonging to the local parish community and the universal Church. Faith formation deepens our understanding of the core beliefs of the Catholic faith to encourage life-long learning and practicing of the Faith. The religious education program at Mercy seeks to serve the needs of any who desire to deepen their life of faith.
(1) Grades K-6 participate in a spiral curriculum that builds upon previous content covered while introducing Church teachings as the child grows and matures. These classes meet on Sundays from 10-10:45am.
At Our Lady of Mercy Children's Faith Formation is divided into 2 sections.
(2) Grades 7-8 focus on preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Students are challenged to begin finding ways to integrate their Catholic Faith with their daily life. These classes meet on Wednesdays from 5-6pm and are required preparation for Confirmation.
