The Grade School Religious Education Program provides religious instruction for students in Kindergarten through Grade 6 on a weekly basis from September through April. These classes are held on Sunday mornings in the Parish Center at Our Lady of the Mountain Church. There are three sessions: Session A takes place from 8:00-9:00AM, Session B takes place from 9:30-10:30AM and Session C takes place from 11:00AM-12:00PM. (Preference for a session time is given on a first-come, first-served basis.) There are approximately 28 sessions each year for Grades K-6.

Classes for Grades 7 and 8 meet on alternating Monday evenings from 6:00PM to 7:00PM, from September through April. There are approximately 20 sessions each year for Grades 7 and 8.
Schedules and handbooks for grades K-6, 7 and 8 can be downloaded by clicking on the appropriate link below. Schedules will be posted from September through April, and will be amended as necessary.

Classes for Grades 9 and 10, Confirmation preparation, meet on alternating Mondays at 7:30 - 8:45PM. Grades 7 and 9 meet on the same Monday and grades 8 and 10 meet on the same alternating Monday. Schedules and handbook for Grades 9 and 10 can be found under the Confirmation tab under Religious Education.  

All parents and students in Grades K-10 are asked to attend the monthly Family Mass. Students in Grades 2 and 10, the Sacrament years, are required to attend Mass weekly and are required to sign in. Students and parents in Grades 2 and 10 are also asked to attend the Family Mass. This Mass will meet their Sunday obligation.

Parents may register their children by clicking the registration link below. A child entering the Kindergarten program must be 5 years of age by October 1st of the current school year. A certificate of Baptism must be provided at the time of registration if the Sacrament was received in a parish other than OLM. When registering older children, proof of prior religious education and Sacramental history must be provided at the time of registration. Students are required to complete one year of religious instruction before entering the Sacramental preparation of First Reconciliation and First Holy Eucharist in Grade 2.


Classes in the Religious Education Program offer instruction in Catholic doctrine, Scripture, morality, and the experience of prayer. However, the family is the primary setting in which faith is shared and nurtured. Parental faith sharing is the foundation of OLM's Religious Education Program. The staff at OLM depends on parents to discuss weekly lessons with their children at home, to pray with their children and to bring their children to Mass each week. Mass attendance along with Religious Education classes comprise a complete and truly successful religious education!
