The Office of Catechesis is responsible for parish-based religious education programs. Through the Catechesis program, we help students prepare for sacraments such as Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation. The office is also responsible to train, assist, and support volunteer catechists.
“The time has come for young people, to commit themselves and learn how to enter into a personal relationship with Christ. The time has come for us to look upon the history of this third millennium which has just begun a history that needs more than ever to be lifted by the Good News of the Gospel…You, my dear young people, are my joy.” – Benedict XVI
Our office is open Tuesdays and Wednesday from 12:30pm-3:30pm and Thursdays from 8:30pm – 4:30pm. You may also email at us at catechesis@hrsrcs.org or call (305) 233-8711.
