St. Joseph-St. Lawrence Religious Education Program
Religious Education for Children
The Religious Education program assists parents in providing for their child's religious instruction and formation. Active parent involvement and regular participation by young people are crucial to the success of the program. Sacramental preparation programs require the participation of young people in regular religious formation; this includes preparation for the reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation. All students in Grades K through 8 who are not enrolled in a Catholic school should be enrolled in Religious Ed classes at their own parish.

CCD 2025 STARTS SOON! Middle School CCD (Grades 6–8) begins Sunday, Sept. 28 after the 9am Mass until 11am at St. Joseph of the Valley (Bertels Hall). Grades K–5 will begin Wednesday, Oct. 1 after school, ending at 5pm, also at Bertels Hall. We’re excited to share the faith with your children—but remember, faith formation doesn’t only happen in the classroom. Parents, you are your child’s first and most important teacher. What they see at home—your prayers, conversations, and example—shapes their hearts. Let's work together to help your child grow in love for God and the Church. Reach out to Jess Adelaine with any questions, for registration information or bus permission forms. (jessadelaine@gmail.com or 910-987-9291).


St. Joseph of the Valley Hall Paintings
For many years, the Confirmation Classes of St. Joseph of the Valley would paint a work of art to decorate the SJV Hall and enhance the learn environmnet for the CCD classes held int he hall, under the artistic direction of Nancy Bauder. Tragically, due to a water leak and mold damage, the hall had to be renovated and all of the paintings were destroyed. We apprecaate the work of those students and the memories of such work of love. We were so very proud of your work! Thanks to the past students involved in the paintings!
