Religious Education (K-6)

The first teachers children will have in learning their faith are their parents! But in addition to the guidance you give your children, St. Charles Parish provides religious education programs to help foster and form a child’s spiritual life. More information can be found on the preschool and religious education programs in the Religious Education Handbook PDF.

Preschool (K4) and Kindergarten (K5)

St. Charles offers Stories of God’s Love, a Bible story-based program designed to introduce young children to scripture stories, beginning the first construction of their foundation in Christ. Stories of God’s Love meets from 9:00 am to 10:00 am each Sunday. Children explore how God’s love can be found and expressed in the world through the daily scripture stories and real-life applications. The program also introduces the church’s seasons, holy days, and saints. Contact the Religious Education Office for more information at (262) 367-3277, ext. 205.

Traditional Religious Education and the Sacraments

For Grades 1 through 6, St. Charles offers a religious education program in a traditional classroom setting. It is through this program that children receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion, which the Archdiocese of Milwaukee celebrates in 2nd Grade. It is important to note that if you are interested in your child receiving the sacraments, they must be registered for the year prior, 1st Grade, to receive proper formation for these special sacraments.  

Each year a child returns to his or her religious education, another critical stepping stone of his or her journey towards Christ is completed! Spiritual growth and devotion to the faith start with an understanding of Catholicism and the beautiful call to be disciples. The volunteer teachers leading each classroom are individuals dedicated to their faith and to the growth of their students’ spiritual lives. For more information contact the Religious Education Office at (262) 367-3277 ext. 205.

EDGE and LifeTeen

Additional religious education opportunities are offered for 7th and 8th Graders through the Life Teen EDGE program, which may be found under Student and Young Adult Ministries under Serve Christ.
