Introduction

Welcome to the Mary, Mother of God Religious Education program. Our mission is to guide the children of our parish in the ways of our shared Catholic faith with their parents/guardians as the primary teachers.

We offer an annual program for children in first through eighth grades which roughly follows the Hillsborough Township school calendar. We offer one day a week, in-class instruction, with an alternative home - school arrangement for children in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6.  To register, click here.

Classes normally run from mid-to-late September through the first week of May. Home school students meet four evenings per school year. Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes except for illness or family emergency.

Classes are planned based on the following schedule:

• Grades 1-6: 4:15 pm-5:30 pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays
• Grades 6-8: 7:00 pm-8:15 pm Tuesdays
• Grades 7-8: 7:00 pm-8:15 pm Wednesdays
• Grades 1-8: 5:00 pm-6:15 pm Thursdays

Class Catechists and Aides are all volunteers. Class availability is based on the number of volunteer Catechists so all planned days and times may not be available. Please consider assisting us; Catechists and Aides receive first choice for their children’s class assignments as well as a tuition waiver.  Click here for more information on becoming an adult volunteer.

1st and 2nd graders prepare for the sacraments of First Penance and First Holy Communion.  7th and 8th graders prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation and are required to volunteer in the Parish or in the larger community.  For possible service hour opportunties, click here.  For more information on sacramental preparation, click here.
