At St. Mary Magdalene Catholic School, teachers work in tandem with the local parishes to meet the sacramental preparation requirements during 1st & 2nd grade through our Religion Curriculum.
The mission of the St. Mary Magdalene Catholic Church’s Religious Education program is to provide students with age-appropriate catechesis guided by biblical faith, the teachings of the Church, and a clear vision of the Gospel. We accomplish this by building upon students’ life experiences, fostering family involvement, developing spirituality and involvement in liturgical prayer, encouraging moral development, and challenging students to experience faith in a spirit of joy.
Diocesan sacrament guidelines require all children between the ages of 6-17 to be baptized Catholic and have completed one formal year of religious education prior to preparing for sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and/or Confirmation, making each a two-year preparation program.
