Child & Youth Religious Education

Religious Education is not just for sacrament preparation!

The St. Cornelius Office of Religious Education offers a continuing formation process opened to all children attending public schools, Preschool through High School. Our formation process offers a spiral thematic curriculum that presents important concepts through the Four Pillars of the Catechism: What Catholics Believe, How Catholics Worship, How Catholics Live, and How Catholics Pray.  Each year, as the children’s understanding and faith grow, topics are revisited and new elements are added to continue their faith development. With this approach,  children learn all aspects of our Catholic faith at an age appropriate  level.  Please contact Evelyn Padian (562)420-7613 for more information.
"I shall live in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life."
 Ps 23:6
