Religious Education

2022-2023 Registration is COMING SOON

St.  Catherine of Siena's Parish Religious Education Program is designed to  help parents and guardians to pass on the gift of the Catholic Faith to their children, helping to form children and parents together in stronger discipleship.  Parents are “the first teachers of their children in the ways of faith,” as the Church prays at Baptism.  Our Religious Education program assists parents in that irreplaceable role. 


The Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion are celebrated in Grade 3. The Sacrament of Confirmation will be celebrated in Grade 8.  Students are required to attend special workshops to prepare them for the reception of these Sacraments. Please note that St. Catherine’s requests two years of preparation in our program before Confirmation.


Our program would not be possible without our team of dedicated volunteers who are witness to the faith for the children in our program.  We are grateful to our Catechists and Classroom Aides who work directly with the children in the classroom, and to our Hallway Monitors who help in so many ways.  All volunteers receive tuition assistance for their children or grandchildren.  Please consider joining our team!


All Religious Education classes are held in St. Catherine of Siena School. Registration is available online.


For more information regarding the Religious Education program, please contact our Director of Religious Education, Lindsay Tristine at RelEd@stcatherinetrumbull.com.

Summer 2022: The Adventures of Flat Jesus

Hey Kids: 


Welcome to summer break! Did you know that Jesus loves you SO MUCH that he wants to be with you  always -- even on summer break? 


He really does! So this summer, we’re all going to spend time with Jesus everywhere we go:  to the beach or at the pool, to camp or on vacation, on a hike or while camping, visiting family or playing with friends, having fun at home... wherever!   


It’s kind of like Flat Stanley, only better.  Here’s how it works:  

  1. Cut out and color your very own “Flat Jesus” in any way you like.  
  2. Bring Jesus with you everywhere you go this summer. 
  3. Take a photo of your Jesus either with you & your family or friends, or  wherever you are. Just make sure we can see where He is. 
  4. Ask your mom or dad to upload your photos to their favorite social media platform with the tag: #FlatJesusStCath or send them to  support@stcatherinetrumbull.com. 
  5. If you need a new Flat Jesus, just download the letter and template with the link below.


At the end of the summer, we’ll pick three or maybe four “winners” for the kids who were most creative or took Jesus to the most places.  We’ll have a special gift for our winners at the beginning of the next Rel Ed year.  


Are you excited to travel with Jesus this summer?  My family and I are!  And we can’t wait to see all of His great adventures this summer with you  and your family! 


God Bless You,

Mrs. Tristine

Special Message from Simon Whiteman

A good example of how faith enhances the everyday is 22 year-old Simon Whiteman.  Simon is a long-time parishioner of St. Catherine’s and attended our Religious Education program. Simon plays professional baseball for the San Francisco Giants organization.  He made a short video for our students and families about the role his faith plays in baseball.
