Religious Education

Religious Education meets during the school year, starting in September and ending in May. Meetings take place on Sunday mornings from 10:00-11:15 am at St. Joseph’s Church in Greenwich Village. We provide catechism to students in grades K - 7. If your child is older and still in need of sacraments, please email religiouseducation@stjosephgv.nyc.

St. Joseph's offers a family catechesis style of religious education.

"Family catechesis ... precedes, accompanies and enriches all other forms of catechesis. Thus there cannot be too great an effort on the part of Christian parents to prepare for this ministry of being their own children's catechists and to carry it out with tireless zeal." -Pope St. John Paul II, Catechesi Tradendae.

The goal of this program is to encourage and equip you to live and teach your children the Catholic Faith at home.

Students join their peers to engage in age appropriate Catholic faith formation weekly. Once a month, parents are provided the opportunity for continued growth in their faith through discussions and lessons with St. Joseph’s priests. Other community gatherings are incorporated throughout the school year to build friendships and celebrate Catholic life through common prayer, service, social activities, and liturgical celebrations.

If you have any questions please email Estefanía at religiouseducation@stjosephgv.nyc.
