RELIGIOUS EDUCATION - GRADES K-8
Registration forms for the 2025-2026 CCD school year were sent out via email. If you did not receive it or if your email address has changed since last year’s registration (which would have been last summer), please be sure to email us at StJoeRelEdLP@gmail.com with your new email address. Registration forms are available on the back tables in the church and in our Parish Center.
First Holy Communion
Children are required to complete 2 full years of Religious Education before they can receive First Holy Communion.
Registration for new students will also be taking place. Our program begins with Kindergarten and continues through Grade 8. If you have a child in Kindergarten only, the registration fee is $30. A copy of their baptismal certificate is required for each new child registered.
Families must be registered members of the parish when registering for the program.
For more information or to request forms, please call 973.696.4411 x5. -
GROW IN FAITH AS A RELIGIOUS ED TEACHER
There are many ways our faith becomes stronger and more meaningful. One of the best ways this happens is when you have to explain or demonstrate to someone else your own understanding or beliefs. Becoming a teacher in the Religious Education Program not only brings our faith to the hearts of youngsters for life, it also helps crystallize and strengthen the teacher’s own beliefs. If you are interested in volunteering as a teacher in the Religious Education Program (K – 8th Grade), please contact Kathleen Miller at StJoeRelEdLP@gmail.com or call St. Joseph’s office at 973.696.4411 x5. This is a wonderful way to grow in faith and help your parish.
