CATECHISM

Catechism classes begin each year in January from Grade R and continue consecutively every year. The Catechetical programme is completed upon receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 10. We pray that our children continue to grow and develop in their faith after receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation and actively participate in their parish. 

Catechism classes are held at Brescia House School on a Sunday morning from 8:30 am to 9:45 am. Life Teen are held in the Parish Hall on a Sunday evening from 17:00 to 18:45. We follow the private school calendar from January to November. 

Children are also encouraged to attend Children’s Liturgy at the 10 am Mass. (This does not replace our formal catechism classes).  

Grade R (not younger) – Grade 7 children attend our Junior Catechism classes.

Grade 7 – Grade 10 attend our Life Teen programme.

What is LifeTeen?

LifeTeen is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church, LifeTeen leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

As we face times of uncertainty, we know that connection to the Eucharistic liturgy is critical. A close second is community. We recognize that there are circumstances where a parish may have chosen to or be required to suspend any ministry outside of the Mass. It is always a gift and blessing to receive the Eucharist and attend Mass. Where there are opportunities for additional worship and ministry, we should seek to take advantage of those opportunities.
