This is a time of welcome, prayer, reflection, and orientation for all SRRE Catechists and Aides. We begin with 9:00 Mass in the church, then move to the Trumpet Room for a light breakfast, reflection, sharing, and getting ready for the start of classes.

Our Family Catechesis program helps parents grow in their own faith while they guide their children in core faith formation. Parents teach their children each week’s lesson at home. Then all families come together for seasonal sessions with hands-on activities focused on faith topics. Families need to commit to spending an hour each week on faith formation with their child at home - in order to fulfill the minimum of 30 hours of instruction required by the Archdiocese of Washington – and to attend the six seasonal sessions.
