Parent Agreement

Class Times

PreK / K : At home option only
1st -5th Grade: Wednesday, 5:30-6:30 pm

Registration Fees

Fees for 2019 -20:
1st, 3rd/4th, and 5th -   $25
2nd Grade (First Communion)  -   $50
Confirmation (6 Grade) - $50


*** There is a maximum of $75 per family ***

Fees are used to provide program instruction materials, classroom supplies, materials for special activities  and Catechist formation.


The fees are kept as reasonable as possible. However, no child will be turned away from Religious Education due to lack of the ability to pay the fees.  Special fees are assessed for Sacramental Preparation in grades 2 and Confirmation candidates. Please contact the parish priest or DRE if this is a hardship as the fees can be waived or reduced.

Parent's Role

The Document on Education from the Second Vatican Council states, “Parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. Their role as educators is so decisive that scarcely anything can compensate...”.  The Religious Education program is in place to assist parents in this task.
  • Parents are expected to attend Mass every Sunday, and receive the sacraments as a family. Yours is the first model of parish family the children will learn.
  • It is expected that your child will be at all classes barring illness or other personal reason. Ensure that your child attends classes on time and regularly (at least 80% of classes, no more than 5 absences).
  • Watch the weekly Sunday bulletin, read emails and flyers sent home for messages or changes.
  • Provide child with opportunities to learn and practice their faith at home and within the parish community.
  • Help your child grow in understanding by talking about what he/she learned in Religious Education.
  • Teach your children to pray by spending some time in prayer with them each night.

Weather Closings

If we need to cancel classes due to inclement weather, the cancellation will be posted on the St. Augustine Facebook and webpage.

Discipline Policy

Students are expected to:
  • respect their teachers, class visitors and each other
  • actively participate in class
  • show appropriate reverence for the subject matter
*If a student is continually disruptive during class, the parents will be notified so that the issue can be discussed and a mutual agreement can be reached.

Special Needs

Mission Statement

The St. Augustine Religious Education office follows NCPD (National Catholic Partnership on Disability) guidelines. Special needs including physical disabilities, allergies, language and learning barriers, should be discussed with the DRE and the classroom catechists. We will make every effort to assist in addressing special needs in the best way possible.

The St. Augustine Religious Education program supplements and reinforces what is learned at home by providing formal catechesis focused on the basic tenets of the Catholic Faith, as defined by the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Our goal is to foster strong Catholic identity, lived discipleship and full participation in the life of the Church. Parents lay the foundation for this work by the examples they set in everyday life, through their own continued catechesis, and through active participation in the faith development of their children.
