Welcome to St. Bern
ard's Religious Education Program. We offer faith formation opportunities for children of registered parishioners in public schools Grades 1-8. Children of parishioners in Catholic school are welcome to attend sacrament preparation classes along with our public school students. Our office is located in the Rectory across from Old Oak Golf Course on Parker Road. REP office hours are 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The office is not staffed on Wednesday class days because we are at church, but you may leave a message which will be picked up on Thursday. To call in an absence, please call the church phone number, (708) 301-2301 between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM on class days only. Evening and weekend hours are available by appointment. Please call to schedule.
WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!!The Religious Education Program operates with over 50 volunteers and we need extra help in the coming year. If the classes are not staffed, we have to create a waiting list until volunteers are found. Volunteers receive a discount on their tuition. All volunteers over 18 are background checked and take a class on preventing child sexual abuse. All Catechists must be over 18. High school students who have been Confirmed, may Aide in the classroom. High school students over 16 may help with traffic control in the parking lot.
