Religious Education
Parish Religious EducationOur children, Kindergarten through-8th grade, are ministered to and served by catechists each Sunday from mid- September through April in a Diocesan approved program. Sessions are held at St. Andrew’s Religious Education Center, 14401 Sinepuxent Avenue at 145th Street, Ocean City on Sundays from 9:45 - 11:00 a.m. In addition an adult faith enrichment program is offered for parents while children are in their classes. Newly registered families who wish their children to participate in our religious education program should call for an appointment. Vacation Bible SchoolThis is a fun and inspirational week for children Pre-K to Grade 4 held in July at the St. Andrew Religious Education Center. Registration forms will be available in the gathering areas and at the parish office. Sacramental PreparationFirst Reconciliation, First Eucharist, Confirmation Sacramental Preparation classes are in addition to the regular participation in the weekly religious education classes or Catholic School and are attended by both parent and child. Attendance at all classes as well as faith guidance at home is necessary for the proper formation of the students. Building a strong foundation of our Roman Catholic faith is the main goal of our collective efforts. Children must be enrolled in a Religious Education Program prior to the reception of a sacrament. This education must be continuous from Kindergarten. If this is not the case then some additional religious instruction might be necessary prior to the reception of the Sacrament. Children in the 2nd grade celebrate First Reconciliation in the Fall and First Holy Communion in the Spring. Confirmation Sessions begin in the Fall of the 9th grade and this Sacrament is celebrated by the Bishop in the Fall of the 10th grade. Baptism Instruction Program This program is required of all new parents and those who have not attended the program for three years or more. Please call the Parish Office to register for this program. Sacrament of Marriage Couples are requested to make arrangements one year in advance. Couples are required to participate in a Pre-Marriage Instruction program (Pre-Cana). Call the Parish Office for details. If you are interested and
would like more information for any of the above ministries, please
contact the Parish Office 410-250-0300.
