The Religious Education program is offered as an alternative to regular religious studies classes. The program is geared towards individual learning for children with special needs. The teachings of the Catholic Church are reviewed and instruction prepares the children to receive a sacrament. The 30-40 minute session encourages interaction through related art projects and reenactments of bible scenes. Additional registration is required. Bridge to Youth and Regina Pacis are proud to offer a monthly Mass for families and children with special needs. Mass will be scheduled for one Sunday a month at 1:00 pm. This is an opportunity for families of children with special needs to participate in the Mass.
