OUR LADY OF VICTORY


PHILOSOPHY AND GOAL Minimize

The primary goal of the Religious Education Programs of Our Lady of Victory Parish is to continue the mission of Jesus by proclaiming the Word of God, celebrating the sacred mysteries and serving the people of the world.

A love of God, an awareness of God's presence in our lives and a commitment to Christian service are those values, which we strongly encourage.  Because this growth and maturity of faith is a life long process, these efforts only supplement the faith development, which is happening within the individual and the family.  Through mutual cooperation, family and parish can help all people assume their full baptismal roles in our parish community and in the church at large.

Religious Education Program Minimize
We offer Religious Education classes for our public school students in grades 1-8. We also have an Early Childhood Program for ages 3, 4, and Kindergarten. The classes for grades 1-8 are held on Monday evenings from 6:45 – 8:00 pm. Our Early Childhood classes are on Sunday morning from 9:15 – 10:30 am. Classes typically begin the last week in September and end in early May. 
 
The yearly schedules for both of our Religious Education classes are mailed to our families in August, as well as posted to our website.
 
Tuition is $70 for parishioners and $100 for families not registered in our parish.  Payment of tuition is expected to be paid with the registration form. Tuition is waived for parents who volunteer as catechist or catechist’s aides. No child will be denied a religious education due to a lack of payment. If you need tuition assistance, please contact the Religious Education office.
 
All Religious Education catechist and aides must be Catholic, attend Mass regularly, and follow the laws of the church in our daily lives. They must be committed to preparing and following the established religious curriculum and lesson plans.
 
Religious Education catechist and aides are encouraged to attend the spiritual formation classes for catechist certification offered by the Archdiocese.
 
The Archdiocese requires all Religious Education volunteers (over age 18) to be fingerprinted and all volunteers must attend the Child Protection Decree orientation class.
 
If you have any questions regarding our programs, please contact Jonathan Schaefer, Director of Religious Education, at 347-2071 or jschaefer@olv.org.
