Saint Clement Mary Hofbauer School of Religion

Mission Statement

With the guidance of the Holy Spirit always before us, we the catechists of Saint Clement Mary Hofbauer Parish, journey with families in learning and growing in the knowledge of God’s love. Together with our Church community and through the teachings of Jesus we work to bring about the kingdom of God here on earth through a ministry of learning and compassion.

In order to be eligible for sacraments, children must have attended one year of religious education or Catholic school prior to entering the sacrament program.

First Reconciliation & Eucharist

For children in 2nd grade and up, preparation is done mainly in the home by a parent.

For young people in grades 9 and up, classes are held at the parish Monday evenings beginning in January and through the reception of Confirmation in the spring.

This is a program for children ages 8 through 16, who:
