According to the National Directory for Catechesis, “Family-centered catechetical programs are opportunities for parents to catechize their children directly, for spouses to catechize each other and for children to catechize one another and their parents.” (National Directory for Catechesis #61.2)
Family Catechesis is a response to the call to a “new evangelization” and a reemergence of the importance of faith formation for the entire Catholic family.
Religious Education Grades 1-5
Religious Education Grades 1-5
We have a shortfall of catechtists for Elementary religious education. Without volunteers, we may not be able to have religious education in the classroom.
Classes are held at Saint John Neumann on designated Sundays between Masses.
We will use St. Mary's Press Discover! Finding Faith in Life for grades 1-3. We will use Pflaum's Gospel Weeklies: Venture for grades 4-5.
This year we will be completing a safe environment class with all grade levels as is required by the Diocese.
Please contact Jeannie Kennedy at dre@sjnpowhatan.org with any questions.

We would like to begin a Kindergarten religious education program in 2025-26, however, we need to have a dedicated catechist for the program. The schedule would be similar to the Elementary program. Please contact Jeannie Kennedy at dre@sjnpowhatan.org for information.
