Religious Education Mission Statement
Guided by the Holy Spirit, the St. Basil Religious Education Program is committed to providing opportunities for spiritual growth with and for the community, in partnership with the parents and adults of St. Basil the Great Catholic Church. We strive to produce an environment of ongoing conversion where faith journeys are initiated and nourished into mature discipleship through a loving relationship with our God through Jesus Christ.
 
St. Basil recognizes parents as the primary catechists of their children. Our parish strives to partner with parents in the process of forming faith in their children. Sunday classes are held for our parish children in Grades 1st-8th, which include classes to prepare children for the Sacraments of First Eucharist, First Reconciliation, and Confirmation. St. Basil's Religious Education program welcomes all baptized and non-baptized children/youth to participate in its Religious Education Program.
 
Preparation for receiving First Eucharist and First Reconciliation is in a 2-year preparation process 1st and 2nd-grade level. Confirmation is also a 2-year Preparation process.  Confirmation begins in the 7th Level (1st year Class) and 8th (2nd-year Class) Confirmation is celebrated at the end of the 8th Level. RCIC process is provided for youth baptized and non-baptized that have not received these sacraments. Sacrament Classes are on Sundays at the same time as the regular grade levels.
