WHO MAY ENROLL?

All registered parishioners may enroll their children.  If you are not currently registered, you may do this at the parish office, 330.534.1928.  Note: It is a courtesy to inform the parish in which you are currently registered, that you have left their parish.  This saves parishes a great deal in unnecessary postal costs.

WHAT AGE GROUP DOES THE PROGRAM INCLUDE?

Children enrolled in grades Kindergarten through eighth grade.  (Note: There is a separate registration for high school students and students entering the RCIA program).  Children beyond 2nd grade that have not been baptized or celebrated their First Communion, must have 2 years of catechesis and enroll in the Children's RCIA Program (January through Easter Vigil).
