The 33 students being confirmed this year at St. Edward's each chose a saint as their patron. This slideshow (click above)- put together by confirmation catechist Charlotte Bednarcyzk - shows what saints the students chose, and why those saints are important to them. Enjoy, and please pray for our young people who will be confirmed in May!

The weekly religious education classes at St. Edward's are taught by wonderful, faith-filled volunteer catechists who want to help the children of St. Ed's know and love our Lord. All children from grade 2 to grade 8 are encouraged to attend! (We will not be having a PreK, K, or grade 1 class this year.)

This year, all religious education classes will be virtual, held over Zoom. For any questions, contact the DREs: Dan and Bethany Meola, religioused@stedwardbowie.com.

Fees (with late fee included): $60 for one child, $95 for two children, $125 for three or one children. Note: students getting confirmed this year (confirmation level 3) will also pay a $40 fee for supplies and materials specific to confirmation. That can be paid on this page.

Do you love your faith and want to share it with others? Does it bring you joy to pass down our Church's teaching to the next generation? Then consider becoming a catechist in the St. Edward's religious education program! While thankfully we have catechists for all levels currently, we are always in need of substitutes. There are also other opportunities to serve in the religious education program. All catechists receive training from the DREs and must be background-checked by the archdiocese. If you are interested, please contact the DREs: Dan and Bethany Meola, religioused@stedwardbowie.com.
