Never forget that
JESUS LOVES YOU!!!

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

      St. Augustine’s Religious Education Program supports the Catholic religious formation of all the children in Saint Augustine Parish under the guidance of the Archdiocese of New York. Our catechists do a wonderful job of not only teaching, but of making sure that every child feels loved, welcomed, and special.

     The program starts in the 1st grade all the way through 8th grade. Contact our office for details regarding the Sacraments of First Penance, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation. 

       Consider volunteering as a catechist or as an assistant catechist on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4:30PM to 6:00PM, and also on Saturdays from 8:30AM to 10:00AM.  

     To evangelize is everyone's calling. It is a sacred task that has been given to all of us by Jesus, our Savior.  It's not easy, but God never promises things to be easy but he promises your reward.  To bring others closer to Christ is to bring love, peace, and joy into "your own hearts".

    

On May 18, 2017, Saint Augustine Parish recognized all the catechists, assistant catechists, and volunteers in the Religious Education Program at the Catechists' End-of-the-Year Dinner at LaTerrazza.  These volunteers worked very dilligently, lovingly, and untiringly teaching the Catholic faith to the 475 children in the parish program.  They came to teach every week even when they were tired after their day's work.  Their patience and understanding toward their students truly model Jesus and bring Christ one step closer to the children. May God bless them and their families.  Have a wonderful summer!

Saint Augustine Church would like to recognize the wonderful group of volunteers in the RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM.  These hardworking catechists, assistant catechists, hallway monitors, and clerical workers dedicate their time and talent in teaching the Catholic faith to over 470 students in the Religious Education Program.  These volunteers truly deserve this recognition because their ministry is extremely difficult especially in today's world.  Let us pray for them and thank them for their selfless service of evangelization.

Our volunteers do not have more free time,
