Religious Education Program

Information       News       Calendar

The Religious Education Program (REP) includes grades 1-8.  Classes are held from September through April in the school on Wednesday evenings from 7 - 8:15 pm for 8th grade, Wednesday afternoons, Thursday afternoons 4:30 - 5:45 pm for grades 1st-8th, and Sunday mornings from 8:45 - 9:45 am for grades 1st-8th.  Children's Liturgy of the Word for children  K-5th grade is held during the 10:00am Mass on Sundays. 

There are many opportunities to be involved in the Catechetical Ministry of St. Zachary.  No experience is necessary (we will train), just a willing spirit and a desire to share faith with others.

St. Zachary school children, and REP children who wish to receive a sacrament, please refer to the Celebrating the Sacraments page.

For more information, contact St. Zachary Religious Education Program (REP) at (847) 956 - 1175.
