Dear Junior High School Religious Education Homeschool Parent:
I am very pleased to welcome you and your children to the Junior High School Religious Education Program here at Corpus Christi. I am confident that the curriculum will create a welcoming, inviting and engaging program for your child to grow in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
The program is designed to help young adults know, live in, love and befriend the Blessed Trinity. We make connections between what we believe, how we live and how we pray. The three-year curriculum covers God the Father, the Jesus Christ the Son, the Holy Spirit, Prayer and the Sacraments, and Catholic Social Teachings and Morality.
Class schedules for each grade can be found on the Corpus Christi website under “Schedules”. Lesson homework can be found on the website under “Homework”.
Below are listed Middle School special events that homeschooled students are invited and encouraged to attend along with students attending class at the parish center.
