Elementary – Pre-Kindergarten through 5th Grade There are two programs offered for Elementray Religious Ed. One will be on Sunday mornings and the other on Wednesday evenings. Sunday morning classes will be focused on catechism and will begin at 9:00am ending at 10:10am. Wednesday evening classes will include fellowship as well as catechism. The evening begins at 5:30pm and goes until 6:45pm. There will not be class the fourth week of the month for either Sundays or Wednesday classes. Those students that are in the 2nd grade will have additional preparations for their Sacraments. To keep in accord with the Diocese Safe Environment Protocol, there will be manadatory meetings at the beginning of the school year for all parents and students. The Program we use to catechize the children at St. Leo’s is the Blest Are We program by Silver Burdett Ginn. Here is the scope & sequence of their catechism: Preschoolers are learning about God and how he helps us. They learn about themselves and about things, people and places around them. Kindergarteners are learning about all that God has created, the sun, world, animals, people, ME and all about me. They also focus on family, friends, neighbors and God’s love; followed up by focusing on Jesus and his love for us. 1st Graders learn about our Church Community and our Loving God. They will also focus on Jesus, the Holy Spirit and Jesus’ church of followers. 2nd Graders along with preparing for their sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist they are learning about Mass and living with Peace. 3rd Graders are learning about the church and what we as Catholics believe. They along the way learn about Saints. Their focus is understanding the special ness we have as Catholics. 4th Graders are getting a more in depth view of the Trinity: God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and how it all fits with us, the church. 5th Graders are focusing this year on the Sacraments and the meaning for Catholics.
