RELIGIOUS EDUCATION 
 2020-2021 

*NEW FAMILIES: Before completing registeration for Religious Education classes, please register with our parish by contacting Cathy Gosselin in the main office               @ 508-473-2000.

Our Religious Education sessions for grades K-10 are scheduled to begin in early October 2020. After many discussions about formats, struggles to find teachers, safety concerns, guidelines to be followed and the possibility of another outbreak,  we have decided to offer our Home Study program only for the 2020-2021  Religious Education year.

We urge families to register online by using this link to our parish weshareonline site where you may complete a registration form and pay at the same time. During this COVID-19 emergency this electronic registration and payment keeps us all safe: no paper, no cash, everything is completed contactless as we strive to protect each other during this emergency.  If you prefer to pay by check you may fill out and submit the online registration form with this link www.stmarymilford.org/online-registration-form, then mail payment to the Religious Education Office at 17 Winter Street, Milford, Ma. 01757. 

Tuition Rates 
Home Study Program $60.00  
The Home Study program is offered to students entering grades K - 10 including all sacramental preparation classes this year. All texts and materials will be available through the RE Office starting in the Fall.

Gr 10 Confirmation $50.00
(Confirmation date to be determined by Bishop)

Class Schedules
All children will be home schooled for the year. Our Religious Ed director, Kathy Moran, will coordinate all levels of curriculum and will be in weekly contact with families via Flocknote and/or email. Kathy will be utilizing Google Classroom for grades 6 thru 10 to post assignments and assessments.
Hard copies of materials will be provided and online access to books and resources will also be available. We will email families in late August regarding pick up of materials and books needed for home study.

Grades 2 , 9 and 10 are sacramental years.  All assignments must be completed before receiving any sacraments.  That means that those who do not register or complete requirements for this year will delay their sacrament for another year when we expect classes to resume in a usual format.

Grade 2 will do Sacramental Prep for Reconciliation and First Communion at home. Materials will be provided  and we will also provide videos  and other resources via Flocknote.  Grade 2 will have one retreat in the spring in the large and small halls to maintain social distancing.

We are hopeful grade 9 will be able to attend a retreat at the Holy Family Passionists retreat center in CT this fall.  If that is not possible this year, we will have a day retreat at the parish center in the spring of 2021.

Still have questions!
