Our Lady of the Lakes Religious Education Program strives to promote Catholic teachings for students that attend non-Parochial schools. The classes support first grade through eighth grade religious training and high school confirmation training.
The Religious Education Program is monitored and supported by an Advisory Board. The board’s purpose is to review and change the curriculum as needed, to review books that are used in the Program, to help establish and monitor a working budget, to establish overall monitoring of the success of the program, to name just a few of the board’s responsibility.
