RELIGIOUS EDUCATION REGISTRATION 2022-2023 IS NOW CLOSED!
Our purpose for the St. Mother Theodore Guerin Religious Education Program is to help our students build their connections to God through prayer, incorporate God into their everyday lives, and recognize opportunities to enhance their relationship with God. The St. Mother Theodore Guerin Children’s Faith Formation Program welcomes children to learn about Jesus, the Catholic faith and prepare for the Sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, Communion and Confirmation.
We offer Religious Education to students in Grades 1-8 who during the week attend a public or home school setting. We feel that with your child’s family experience, the classroom experience, and participation in the St. Mother Theodore Guerin faith community, your child’s faith will develop and grow.
CLASSES – YEAR 2022-2023 – Religious Education classes for the 2022-2023 school year will be held on Saturdays twice a month at St. Celestine School, Elmwood Park. Grades 1-8 will be offered and each class session will be from 9:30 to 11:30 AM.

Parents and Catechists work as partners in teaching the Catholic faith to the students through both in-class and home study. Each student will be provided a book, Finding God, Loyola Press, and supplemental materials to aid in their understanding of the teachings of Christ and the Catholic faith.
St. Celestine School is equipped with classrooms that are in adherence with the safety guidelines required by the Archdiocese of Chicago and the State of Illinois. The Archdiocese is also providing the Religious Education Departments in all parishes with guidelines regarding the students’ safety and curriculum.
