CHILDREN’S RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Registration is open through October 1, 2019, for Religious Education (CCD) during the 2019-2020 school year. The program is designed for children not attending a Catholic elementary school. Families are encouraged to register their children who will be entering Kindergarten through Eighth Grade in order to:
- grow in friendship with Jesus and in Christian moral values,
- learn about Mass, Church teachings and Catholic traditions, and
- prepare for sacraments of First Reconciliation (Confession), First Holy Communion (Eucharist) and Confirmation.
Most classes are on Sunday mornings and will begin Sunday, September 8, from 10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in our school, 4520 N. Western. The second year of Confirmation Preparation begins with a parent meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday, September 16, in the Lower Voss, 4412 N. Western.
Classes are conducted in English, though communication with families is in English and Spanish.
Please click here for registration documents or email parish@queenofangelschicago.org or call 773-539-7510 for more information.
- New students who are older than Eighth Grade but younger than Twelfth Grade (or 18 years) may also be accepted into the Religious Education program, but please call for Level placement and further details.
- Sacramental preparation for adults over the age of 18 is through our RCIA Program, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. Please contact the parish office, parish@queenofangelschicago.org or 773-539-7510. Classes are shared among several local parishes, and classes meet on Tuesday evenings, either at Queen of Angels (odd-numbered months) or at St. Matthias Parish (even-numbered months) to the north. This year’s sessions begin with an opening picnic at nearby St. Matthias Parish, 2310 W. Ainslie, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 1.
