Religious Education begins in the home. God has given us children to expand His Kingdom on earth. It is of the utmost importance that not only a child's parents, but also his/her extended family all contribute to their education. Following that, the family of God, gathered in His name, is charged with continuing this education and to live as examples of the Faith as best we can. For this reason, classes are offered on Wednesdays after school at St. Patrick's in Bayard and St. Mary's in Guthrie Center. St. Cecilia's in Panora offers their class sessions following Mass on Sundays. Class sessions range from First Grade through High School and include First Reconciliation (Confession), First Eucharist (Communion), both in the Second Grade, and Confirmation for those in the Tenth Grade (Sophomore year).  Please click on the button below to complete the Registration process for your child(ren).
