Our Religious Education program will give your child a joyful and enthusiastic experience of God and Jesus. Children will continually learn and grow in their own faith journey and will be provided various ways to explore how Jesus taught us about loving others unconditionally and what being a disciple in their own lives means. Our program provides children many opportunities to connect with the faith community through weekly Sunday morning classes which include; scripture lessons, singing, dancing, discussions, service projects and even yoga/meditation are all part of our weekly programming! We also offer fun socials, family liturgies, retreats, Camp Spiritus and the Nativity Play outside of the Religious Ed weekly meetings just to name a few! We are confident your child will feel safe, loved and feel right at home with our Religious Education family!
Classes and Curriculum
Our Religious education Classes are themed based and are customized to each grade level. Children are given monthly themes that connect to their own lives whether it is through family, friends, school or other life situations children are faced with. These monthly themes focus on God’s message and the lessons we are given and how to take it and apply it in our own lives. We explore these themes through bible stories, lessons, crafts, discussions, singing, dancing, role playing, service projects and much more! Some examples of themes we teach are friendship, worry, inclusivity, faith, prayer, love and so much more!
Religious Education Sign-Up Forms will be available mid-September, 2023.
Nativity Play
Our Nativity Play offers a fun, yet beautiful experience of retelling the story of Jesus’ birth. Each year, our Nativity Play is a little different. Along with telling this important story in our faith, we tie in current events our world today is facing to intertwine those experiences and the promise of God’s gift to us forever. There is a place for every child in our play; whether its being a speaking part, dancing, singing, shining like a star or baa’ing like a sheep there will always be a place for every child!
Camp Spiritus
Our summer program is a week long and provides your child with a different themed message each year! Our camp includes Bible stories and connections, crafts, dancing, singing and fun games!
Family Liturgies
Our Family Liturgies provide an experience numerous times throughout the year for your family to be part of a mass adhered just for families, children and our youth. It is a great way to connect spiritually as a family, be part of the mass celebration and even get to know other families at Spiritus. Masses are followed by pot luck dinners and special coffee hours with yummy treats and great conversation!
Special Events
Throughout the year, we provide experiences such as Family Game Nights, Ice Skating, family retreats, movie day, Playground and Prayer and parent workshops that will give you opportunities to explore your own faith as a parent.
