The
Religious Education of our children is something that we
take very seriously here at St. Peter's. Whatever form that
education might take (Sunday morning Religious Education
Classes (CCD) here at the Church or attendance at Butler
Catholic School), we do all that we can to make sure that it
is the best that it can be,
In
the Rite of Baptism of Children, there is a Blessing over
the Parents that reminds them: You shall be the first
teachers of your children in the ways of faith. We believe
this to be true, so that all that we do here is to enhance
what you are already doing at home, the "domestic
church."
Sunday
morning classes are held beginning in September and running
through the end of April. Classes begin at 9:15 a.m. and end
at 10:35 a.m. Parents are encouraged to be a part of the
classes and to continue their own education. The family that learns together, grows together.
The
celebration of First Reconciliation and First Communion are
held during the Second Year. Attendance at class for both
the first and second grades are critical for your children
to be properly prepared for these great events in their lives.
Please take this responsibility seriously. We do!
Confirmation is in the eighth year of the Student's CCD journey. There are Parent Conferences that the parents must
attend as well as a Confirmation Retreat held shortly before
Confirmation. Dates are listed in the weekly Parish
bulletin.
