Religious Education
Religious Education is “not just for children.” Everyone is on a lifelong journey of faith. The parish mission prayer commits everyone to “know and share the truths of our faith.”
The religious education of children must occur at every age with systematic and age-appropriate lessons based on the Diocese of Columbus Graded Course of Study for Religion and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the history and tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.
St. Brigid Religious Education program runs from the week after Labor Day through the middle of May. Classes are available from K-8 as well as a Pre-School program on Sunday morning.
Religious Ed Teachers & Volunteers
We have an experienced staff of catechists. Opportunities for ongoing enrichment and classes for Diocesan Certification provided throughout the year. If you are interested in becoming a catechist, please contact Mary Fran Cassidy. Volunteer opportunities:. In addition to Catechists/Teachers, during each class time Teacher Aides, Hall Monitors, Babysitters and Office Aides needed each week. Volunteers need not have children in program to participate, but all volunteers must take Protecting God’s Children and be fingerprinted according to Diocesan guidelines. Volunteers also needed for special events including but not limited to Operation Cookie Storm, the Hunt for Treasure Sale, The Religious Articles Sale, First Communion Workshop and Confirmation Retreat.

A different theme is offered each year. Watch for more information in the Parish Bulletin or contact the Religious Education Office at 614-761-1176.
