Special
Needs
We would like to
serve every child and meet everyone's
needs in promoting a friendship with
Jesus and therefore we welcome children
with special needs to participate fully
in our faith formation and sacramental
preparation programs.

your child to be fully included in a
classroom environment or you would like
to work out a home-study program or a
combination of both, please contact the
Director to explore the possibilities
(489-3204 or bernmc@nycap.rr.com).

Our K-6 Catechetical
Program meets Sundays from 8:40 - 9:50

school gym during program time to
discuss, pray and/or act upon a
service/justice issue. Additionally,
instructors may conduct service projects
with their individual classes throughout
the year.
Our trained and/or

a base for the institution of their
curriculum as outlined by the Diocese
