T he mission of Christ the Light of the World, Holy Trinity, St. Agnes and St. Joseph Religious Education Program is to deepen in our children their awareness and understanding of God’s loving presence in their lives and to strengthen in them the Christian message of justice and love.
 
In the Diocese of Pittsburgh Grades 1st – 8th are mandatory Religious Education years for all PUBLIC SCHOOL children.  Kindergarten is optional and we will not be offering at this time.  Our classes will be held EVERY WEEK starting Sunday September 22, 2019 – Sunday March 29, 2020 with the appropriate days off for Holidays from 9:45 am to 11:15 am at the CLOW CCD Center location.
 
Our program focuses on:
•   Helping and supporting parents in developing the faith-life of their children.
•   Presenting clear concepts of our Catholic faith and doctrine.
•   Celebrating our faith through class and community liturgies.
•   Imparting an awareness and understanding of Sacred Scripture and its significance on
Christian living.
•   Reinforcing, nurturing and strengthening Christian values.
•    Working with parents in preparing children for meaningful reception of the Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation.
 
In order to assist parents in their roles as the primary religious educators of their children catechesis is offered through formal and informal classroom experiences, based on the Diocesan Graded Course of Study.  The purpose of our program is to foster growth toward a mature Catholic faith.  This is to be accomplished by transmitting the Christian message, forming a faith community, service to others, and providing opportunities for worship.  This is supported through the study of Scripture, liturgy, doctrine, history, and through the life experiences of the parent and student.
 
Weekly Mass attendance is on of the most important components of a child’s Faith Formation.  In addition to Sunday Mass, there are some other Faith Formation Requirements. Program requirements are:
 
 
•   Good classroom attendance
•   Make-up Work completed and submitted for any missed classes
•   Diocesan Personal Safety Curriculum (Grades 1-4) or Catholic Vision of Love (Grades 5-8)
•   Advent and Lent Reconciliation during designated class session
 
By Diocesan policy, “Students with inconsistent attendance or chronic absenteeism will not be permitted to progress to the next level unless sufficient catechetical formation appropriate to that grade level is demonstrated to those responsible for catechesis in the parish.” A history of incomplete years for a student is a cause for concern especially leading up to and including Sacramental Preparation years and will require additional work to make sure the student is fully prepared.
 
Diocesan Policy requires a registration form to be filled out each year for student(s)
