Religious Education is offered at Sacred Heart Parish through the Holy Family Religious Education Program. 

This year, we plan to open all grades (1-10) and offer classes in person every week. Please be aware that this is our tentative plan for 2021-22 Religious Education and that it is subordinate to decisions that the Archdiocese of Boston might make with regards to religious education programs in the future months, as a consequence of the situation related to COVID 19.  We will keep you posted in case anything changes.

Opening Liturgy

The Opening Liturgy will take place at 10 am on October 17, 2021, followed by a family gathering in the parish hall. 

Classes

Classes will begin the week of October 16. Grades 1-4 will meet on Saturdays; Grades 5-10 will meet on Mondays.  

Masks

For now, until at least October 1st, all participants to in-person faith formation gatherings and activities are required to wear masks, as long as they are at least five years old. Masks are not required for children under 2. Masks are at the discretion of parents for children ages 2-5.

Registration Forms

Registration forms can be found on the table at the entrance of the church. Registration forms can also be mailed to you. You must re-register your child for CCD classes even if your child had been part of the Holy Family Center at Sacred Heart last year. 

Please note that both our First Holy Communion and Confirmation Preparation are two-year programs. Catholic School children in grades 2, 9, and 10 must also register with the Holy Family Center for the reception of their Sacraments. For more information, please call the Religious Education Office.

Catholic School students in Grade 2 preparing for First Holy Communion must also register to be a part of our Sacramental Program for First Holy Communion; however, they are not expected to attend the weekly classes, as they use the same books and materials at East Boston Central Catholic School. 

Catholic School students preparing for Confirmation are required to attend weekly classes.

Payment

Payment options are listed below. Children attending Catholic School in Grade 2 register at a cost of $30 per child.
