Religious Education
Overview
The St Juliana Religious Education Program offers catholic religious education for children in grades 1-8 who do not attend a Catholic school. The program prepares children for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in second grade.
Confirmation preparation is a two-year program beginning in seventh grade, with the student receiving the sacrament of Confirmation in the winter of eigth grade. Children and families should commit to religious education from first through seventh grades.
Each year Religious Ed classes meet on Wednesdays in September through May from 6:15-7:30pm in the Saint Juliana School. There is also a small Family At-Home RE option where parents use given materials to work with their children at home to pass on our catholic faith. This Family RE program meets once a month. The Family RE program has limited openings. Registration is online and open from May through August.
St. Juliana is moving to 8th Grade Confirmation!
Our Saint Juliana School and Religious Education programs are transitioning from 7th grade Confirmation to 8th grade Confirmation. The first class who will receive Confirmation in 8th grade will be our current 6th grade students (class of 2028), those who will become 7th graders in the fall of 2026. The class of 2028 will begin preparing for Confirmation in 7th grade (26-27 school year) and receive Confirmation in late February or early March of 2028. Confirmation is a two-year preparation.

Please note that sacrament preparation is a process and attendance for second year of RE/CCD is required to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion in second year, and attendance for both sixth and seventh years is required to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. Additional fees for sacramental preparation can be paid beginning in January through GiveCentral or with a check paid out to Saint Juliana.
