Before You Register:

Are you a parishioner?
You must be a registered member of St. Theresa Parish to participate in our Children's Catechesis and Sacrament Preparation programs. You may register as a parishioner here.

Make sure you're signed up for our Parish Flocknotes.
Flocknote will be our primary method of communication this year, so please make sure your family is receiving communications from the parish via this messaging system.  See main website for sign-up.  Once registered, your family will be added to the appropriate groups pertaining to your child(ren)'s classes.

What is your role as a parent?
As a parent, you are the primary teacher and will have the greatest impact on your child's Catholic faith.  While the parish community can support you in this role, nothing can replace the witness of parents living out their Christian discipleship. In fact, parents have been ordained by God to evangelize their children.  How a parent demonstrates the priority and essential reality of their relationship with Christ (or doesn't) will speak louder than anything that takes place in the classroom.  St. Theresa offers many opportunities for Adult Faith Formation.  In addition, there are many ways to grow in faith while being involved in the St. Theresa community; here is a link to opportunities including liturgical ministries, prayer groups, and moms' groups.

In preparation for this coming year, how will you witness to your faith? Full, conscious, active participation in the Sacrifice of the Mass each week is our foundation. In addition, we all need ways that we can give of our time, talent and treasure and grow in our faith through ongoing catechesis.

Does your child need to begin preparing for a Sacrament this year?
The Sacraments of 1st Reconciliation and 1st Eucharist are generally received during 2nd Grade. Two years of comprehensive catechesis are required in preparation.  For more information, please visit our 1st Reconciliation and 1st Eucharist page. The Sacrament of Confirmation is received in 9th grade and up. For Confirmation information please visit our High School Confirmation page. The application and fee for High School Confirmation is separate from the PreK through Middle School catechesis classes.

Sacrament Preparation will have a $75 fee in addition to Catechesis Registration for any student pursuing First Reconciliation and First Eucharist (typically 2nd Grade).  Please consult the Sacrament Policies regarding eligibility.  The amount of this fee is determined by the overall cost of the preparation materials per child.  If your family will be pursuing these Sacraments with your child this year, you will need to complete another form in addition to the class registration form.
 

Please register your family using one of the links below.  For safety, there will only be online registration forms this year.  You will be directed to our payment page after completing the registration form.  If you have children to be enrolled in both Children's Catechesis and Middle School Youth Group, you may use one registration form to register everyone.

**We highly recommend you use a device other than a smartphone to register so you can easily see all of your options.**
