Dear REY Families:

Welcome to the St. Gerald Religious Education for Youth Program. Or as we are affectionately known around here REY. Our program is on Sunday morning 9:00 am to 10:15 am most Sunday mornings from mid-September to the end of April. As Catholics, we're called to give our children faith formation and instruction every year. It's for this reason that we offer classes from Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our students receive the sacraments of 1st Reconciliation and 1st Eucharist in 2^nd grade and the sacrament of Confirmation in 8th grade. 

The Sacrament of 1st Communion and Confirmation 
each require 2 years of Faith Preparation.
