Sunday School

Sunday School teaches catechism to children once a week. It is intended to assist parents, the primary faith teachers, in their children’s Faith journey. If you have a child in Grade 1 to 7 who is not in the Catholic School Board, St Joseph's Sunday School is for your child. If you have a child in Grade 1 to 7 who IS in the Catholic School Board, but you want them to repeat some faith teachings, St Joseph's Sunday School is for your child. If you have a child in Grade 2 to 11 who has not received the Sacrament of Baptism, Reconciliation, Holy Communion or Confirmation at the usual age, St Joseph's Sunday School is for your child. We gather for Catechism on Sunday mornings, between 10 and 11 AM in the basement rooms.

There are 5 classes:

The Foundation Year (children in Sk or Grade 1)
The Year of Two Sacraments (children in Grade 2 or 3)
The Year of the Bible (children in grade 3 or 4)
The Year of the Chosen (children in grade 5 or 6)
The Year of Confirmation Prep (youth in grade 7 to 11)

Due to COVID19, we have organized ONLINE Sunday School, beginning Sunday, November 1st 2020, for 3 classes only. Please note that the age group per class has expanded.
