Religious Education Programs
The first and foremost priority of every Holy Name parishioner should be to worship at mass every single Sunday. There is nothing more valuable than hearing God's word and receiving Our Lord. It is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children and one of the greatest gift's God has given us.
The following programs are available at Holy Name to help your children grow in love of God and the church. Take advantage of these opportunities to reinforce the faith you share at home and build stronger ties to the Holy Name family. The Religious Education Director is Linda Kelley 225-2120.

- Sunday Religious Education for Children
- There are two components for children in Kindergarten through 5th Grade:
- Children's Liturgy of the Word - children accompany a catechist after the opening prayers of the 9:30 mass to hear and discuss the Sunday scripture readings in a way that they can understand. They follow the same order of mass as the assembly and return before the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This is directed to all elementary age students and presented in a reverent, prayerful atmosphere.
- Middle School
- 7th & 8th graders meet Sunday mornings following the 9:30 am mass, until Noon. Classes are presented in a variety of ways with lots of hands-on activities.
- High School
- A Catholic-centered program open to teen of all faiths. Teens learn about the church and their faith in a loving and accepting community, Wednesday evenings from 7:00 - 8:30 pm.
