All children need to learn of our Catholic Faith.  A child must be in the religious education program for TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS prior to receiving the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist or Confirmation.  A Baptismal Certificate is required for all new students at the time of registration.  If your child is to receive the sacrament of Confirmation, a copy of the Holy Communion certificate must be on file.

In 1859, our Holy Mother appeared Adele Brisse along a rural trail in Wisconsin. When she appeared for the third and final time, Mary’s direction was simple: “Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation ... Teach them their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, and how to approach the sacraments; that is what I wish you to do. Go and fear nothing. I will help you.” (excert from the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help)
