Religious Education

2023-2024 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 Sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated in Grade 2, and First Holy Communion is celebrated in Grade 3. (This year, 3rd Graders will celebrate both Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.) The Sacrament of Confirmation is 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 campus buildings. 


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

Additionally, here are a few important points:

  • Registration will run from early June – August 18:  Early Bird rates will be in effect through August 18.  Registrations received after August 18 will not be eligible for Early Bird rates unless you are a family registering for the first time. Registrations will be processed as they are received. 
  • Schedule your child ASAP:  We understand that sports and other activity calendars are often set after our registration deadline. We encourage you to register now for the day you think may work the best for your family and we are happy to adjust your family’s schedule, space permitting, in September before classes begin. This allows us to staff appropriately and order books in time before classes begin.  
  • Class Schedule:  Classes will start in late September and end in early May. Schedules will be posted to the parish webpage and emailed to all families in August. 
  • Class Size:  We strive to keep classes to no more than 15 students. Therefore, if you have a particular need, kindly register early.  If classes fill up on a particular day you may need to switch to a day when another session is available.

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.
