Renewed in Christ

.  Our Religious Education program joins our parish, catechists and parents together in guiding our children to develop a deep relationship with God.
Our volunteers are one of our greatest assets. We are very grateful for the gift of their time and talent. We trust that working
together we will all do our best in the parish and at home to mold our children’s faith, values and respect for others. God gives us amazing grace when we answer His call to carry on the joyful mission to teach as Jesus did.

2020-2021 RELIGIOUS EDUCATION YEAR – Religious Education will begin in October and will be conducted online through a platform called “Faith Alive”.  We feel that this is the safest way to keep all students, teachers and parishioners safe while following the guidelines set forth by the CDC, Pennsylvania Dept of Health and the Scranton Diocese.  “Faith Alive” will offer easy connection with Our Lady Queen of Peace Religious Ed Classes.  You will be notified through emails as to the exact start date and with an invitation to join the Faith Alive Class.  

– Registration will be the same as it has been.  You can print the form from this website and return to the church office, by mail,  collection box, or drop off at the  during office hours.

Faith Formation Our Lady Queen of Peace Faith Formation as a total parish experience that engages not just the child, but also parents, adults, families, catechists, clergy and other religious leaders that form our parish community of faith. The Faith Formation program reflects an integrated learning experience comprised of catechetical instruction in: traditional Catholic doctrine, prayer, biblical studies, liturgy, sacramental preparation, service, and the understanding and development of Catholic moral values. Furthermore, the Faith Formation program exists to assist parents in their responsibility of forming their children in the Catholic faith into which they have been baptized.

Through our Blessed Beginnings Preschool program, we provide a Catholic learning environment in a loving and nurturing atmosphere. Each child is given the opportunity to grow academically and spiritually as well as develop a love of God and learning.

At Blessed Beginnings Preschool, we strive to help our students develop the skills necessary to understand God’s infinite love for them and help them share this love with others, in the tradition of the Roman Catholic Church.

Curriculum

Blessed Beginnings offers an academic program emphasizing early literacy, math readiness, and social skills in preparation for kindergarten. We add music, art, religious education, physical education, technology and science to the curriculum to create a well-rounded program.
