St. Anne’s Religious Education program is 100% run by parishioners of St. Anne.  All teachers and administrators are parish volunteers or youth assistants (teens ages 14 and above who have been confirmed).  We offer weekly classes starting with Pre-School/Pre-K (ages 3 and 4) up to and including a two-year Confirmation class (age 13, 14 and up).  Our curriculum is based on a program called BLEST ARE WE, which teaches your child about the Christian faith as well as the doctrine of the Catholic Church.
