►Register for 2022-23 Religious Ed Classes
Faith formation is a family and community journey. Thank you for seeking accompaniment in developing the faith in your child(ren).
We warmly welcome our young people to come together to grow in faith through questioning, exploration, activity and discussion. This fellowship complements your family's faith development and prepares our young ones to be active members of the Church, serving and worshipping with others. We believe in and are committed to the encounter, grow, witness approach to sharing the Good News. Our youth faith formation program is commonly known as "religious education" and often abbreviated "RE." This year, we have been able to resume in-person classes, and it has been wonderful to have our students return to the classrooms.
There are many opportunities for adults to serve in our program, and we welcome you to join us in this calling. (See adult volunteer form below.) We are busy making plans for the 2022-2023 program year, and registration is coming soon. Your children are always welcome here, and we are delighted to walk with your family on your faith formation journey. If you have any questions or concerns, send an email or give us a call, and we will help you find the best option for your family.
Contact the RE office at 248-693-9555 or reoffice@stjoelo.org.
RE office hours during the school year are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The RE office is closed from Friday, June 10, through Friday, August 12, with emails and voicemails checked weekly. Thank you for your patience with a slower response time. You may contact Doris Fornasiero, director of religious education, throughout the summer via the contact us link.
