Religious Education (K-6th)

Religious Education at Most Blessed Sacrament is a weekly, family-based faith formation program that helps children grow in their relationship with Jesus and the Catholic Church. Rooted in prayer, Scripture, and Church tradition, the program supports family members as the primary educators in the faith through engaging activities, meaningful content, and parish connection.

Location: The Donnelly Neighborhood Center

The Donnelly Neighborhood Center is located right next to Close Park along Bellevue Road, and just north of our church. The Center is home to our School, Gym, Kitchen, Kelly Room, and Ryan Adamson’s Office. Children/Teens will enter through the main doors off of Bellevue Road, get signed in, and follow the instructions of the volunteers. An exact Google Maps pin for the building is provided below.

1 Child = $75

A Safe Environment

Our parish is committed to providing safe, well-structured environments for children and youth. To do this well, we follow diocesan requirements and parish procedures that help ensure all adults serving in these ministries are properly trained, screened, and supported. The Youth Faith Formation VIRTUS Guide outlines what is initially required to volunteer to work with minors, why these steps matter, and how to complete them. It is intended to be a clear, practical reference for both new and returning volunteers.
