Religious Education (PreK-4-8th)
Come celebrate God's presence among us by being a part of Religious Education here at St. John the Evangelist.
Our Religious Education Program is designed for children in grades Prek-4 through 8th. This program works through the cooperative efforts of parents, catechists, and students. We invite you to join us in building a community of faith in which each child can better see and understand the action of God in our community through fiath-sharing prayer and liturgy.

General Expectations
It is expected that families attend Mass every Sunday (including Holy Days of Obligation) and receive the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation, as applicable, on a regular basis. Each family should be actively involved in the life of the parish in order to model a living, conscious and active Christian faith and to reinforce the values and attitudes for living that faith. The family and their children also must act in accordance with these values and attitudes. Parents preparing their children for sacraments are expected to attend parent meetings as scheduled.

RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults)
Deacon Paul and Sue Worth / 229-263-5659 / paul.worth@yahoo.com
The RCIA program assists interested men and women seeking more information about Catholicism to discover its roots and continue along their journey of faith. This includes those who have never been baptized; those baptized in other Christian faiths, and baptized Catholics who have not received First Holy Communion or Confirmation. Classes meet on Sunday mornings in the Conference Room at the Parish Center. With the help of sponsors and through experiences involving the whole community, the process leads to the sacraments of Initiation and full Communion with the Church, at the Easter Vigil Liturgy on Holy Saturday.
