Proper, Christian formation is critical not only for children, but also for our youth and adults of all ages. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says "the name catechesis was given to the totality of the Church's efforts to make disciples, to help men believe that Jesus is the Son of God so that believing they might have life in his name, and to educate and instruct them in this life, thus building up the body of Christ."
We all must do our part to properly understand what God has revealed to us through Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. At Divine Redeemer, we are making an effort to offer various opportunities to learn more about what God has revealed to us in scripture and through the Church. We invite you to participate yourself and enroll your children into a suitable learning venue! For more detailed information, just click on the venue name and another web page will open up.

A critical component of Christian Formation. Children first grade through eighth grade must be enrolled in the Christian Formation classes for one year prior to sacramental preparation.
