The Religious Education program is an essential tool we can use to help fulfill the promise you made when your children were baptized. We will use the Pflaum Gospel Weeklies Faith Formation Program this year. Every child will receive a religious education handbook along with 32 weekly lessons based on the Sunday Gospels from September to May. The handbook, What the Church Believes and Teaches, introduces, reviews, and reinforces the basic Church teachings that need to be mastered at each grade level. The Weekly Lessons inspire children to live the Gospel in their daily lives. Every lesson goes home to involve parents as well, and to foster attendance at Sunday Mass for the whole family. Also on-line resources and activities are available to families at Pflaumweeklies.com

Our goal is to support parents in properly educating and forming their children in the ways of faith in accord with the teachings of the Catholic Church. At Our Lady of the Lake the children qualified to receive First Reconciliation, Eucharist or Confirmation must be enrolled in the religious education classes at their grade level.
