Empowering God's Children: This new initiative from the Archdiocese of Newark has been designed to teach our children about important safety topics in an engaging and age-appropriate way.
Here's how it works: At the beginning of the catechetical year, each Religious Education family (grades K-8) will be contacted via email with age appropriate lesson materials, a "completion" form and an "opt out" form. Detailed instructions will be contained in the email for your convenience.
Here’s what some of our families are saying: “the lessons are very well done and given us a great forum to discuss important issues.” From another parent: “very professional; it addressed important topics in an age-appropriate way.”

Experience the Guardian Angel Difference!
Welcome to the Guardian Angel Religous Education website. Our goal is that our students will come to grow in knowledge, love and friendship with our Lord, Jesus. We offer a personalized approach to Religoius Education and acknowledge the different learning slyles of each child. Classes are taught by caring and knowlegable catechists who love to share their faith with our children. To achieve this goal, our dedicated catechists use various teaching aids including workbooks, music, arts/crafts, videos, etc. We also offer Religous Education for Special Needs and Challenges students. Please call our office at 201-327-0352 to arrange for a visit.
This fun and engaging series by Loyola Press uses popular children's books as a springboard for entering into imaginative prayer. Pray Me a Story is designed for use by catechists, religion teachers, parents, grandparents - anyone who prays with children. Turn your next "bedtime story" into a "praytime story."
We currently have the following PRAY ME A STORY series available:
The Kissing Hand, The Gift of Nothing, Horton Hears a Who, Drop by Drop, and The Rainbow Fish.
