Religious Education
A large part of our Religious Education program is proper preparation for our students to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation. We also nurture the graces received in these sacraments by continuing the children’s education in faith and deepening their relationship with Jesus Christ at every level. Working together, we do our best to build a firm foundation in our Catholic faith.
If you have any questions about Religious Education, please contact the Religious Education Office at 781-631-8340 / sosreligioused@staroftheseamarblehead.org. Religious Education Office hours: Monday — Thursday, 9:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m. |
