Kindergarten through Grade 7 use religion books from
Harcourt Press
Call to Faith series, which uses a curriculum that is based
on Church Tradition, Scripture, Doctrine, Lives of Saints and People of
Faith as well as Cultural Customs and Celebrations.  It is deeply rooted in
both the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the General Directory for
Catechesis.  

Grade 8 & 9 are considered the years for Confirmation Preparation.  
The series used for this process are from Resources for Christian Living
Faith First series which includes four levels of study:  Mystery of God,
Morality, Jesus in the New Testament and Church and Sacraments.  

Grade 10 students are involved in service as a part of their continued
preparation for Confirmation.  Additionally, in the spring, they attend the
Chrism Mass at the Cathedral and a Twilight Retreat.  These students
are also welcome to attend Youth Group meetings throughout the year.  
The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the spring at the
Divine Mercy Parish in Faribault.

Youth Group  invites all youth in Grades 10 - 12 to attend this monthly
group aimed at strengthening fellowship and faith.

Adult Education welcomes all adults to attend classes on
Church doctrine as well as seasonally focused studies and other Scripture
studies.  A schedule of class topics is published in the fall and winter.
