Home School RE is offered at St. Jude for children in the 3rd through 6th grade. The parents are responsible for the teaching of the religion curriculum to their children during the year. The children and their families are required to attend two "Family Gatherings" during the year as part of the home school program, and participate in 15 hours of service for the church.

The Family Gathering dates are:
September 6th and May 20th beginning at 6:30pm in the Chapel for Mass, and then continuing in the Activity Center for lessons. The meeting typically ends by 8:30pm.

IMPORTANT: Parents - Please do not bring students to classes until 10 minutes before classes start. Our teachers need some preparation time. Thanks for understanding.
