Empowering God's Children is a new initiative from the Archdiocese of Newark and has been designed to teach our children about important safety topics in an engaging and age-appropriate way. Each Religious Education family will be contacted in the first weeks of September with information about how the program will be implemented here at Guardian Angel Church.

All in-person Religious Education programs are in compliance with current COVID guidelines. 

Please Note:  The sucessful completion of 7th and 8th Religious Education OR a comparable "catch up program" is required for participation in our Confirmation program.  Please contact our office if you have any questions or if your child needs to "catch up" on their Religious Education studies.  We are happy to help your family grow in our Catholic Faith!
