St. Anselm Roman Catholic Church
Faith Formation Update 2020
Sacrament of Confirmation
The goal of our Elementary Religious Education Program is to bring the “Good News” of faith to the Catholic children attending public schools through a catechetical program. This program teaches basic Catholic beliefs, prepares children for the reception of the sacraments and encourages them to practice the Faith at home and in the community.
Class Schedule
September thru June, Grades 1 thru 8. Please click on the 2020/2021 Schedule for the Calendar, Mass attendance and class procedures.
