The SMART program is a more traditional religious education program for children in grades 4-9. Level I is designed for children in grades 4-6 and is modeled after the vacation bible school approach.  Each class includes a liturgy lesson based on the previous Sunday’s lectionary readings, catechesis related to the four pillars of the catholic faith based on the Blest Are We text, an activity or craft related to the lesson, and concludes with a snack that reinforces the weekly lesson..  SMART II is designed for children in grades 7 – 9 using the Blest Are We text and other supplemental materials. It is imperative that students choosing to be confirmed attend SMART II. CONFIRMATION WILL BE CELBRATED in 2022.
