Faith Formation and Sacramental Preparation for Children, Youth & Adults
We are a mosaic of cultures who journey together in faith!
All are welcome!
Our Religious Education program in English is a small and culturally diverse program that meets on Sundays 8:30 AM to 9:45 AM in the Sacred Heart Academy. The Academy is located a half block from the church in the parking lot of the parish school at 1621 Park Road, NW. The classes end in time for families to attend the 10 AM English Mass or the 10:30 AM Spanish Mass in the school auditorium. The program begins the Sunday after Labor Day and usually ends by the second week of June.
