Welcome to Online Catechism!
In the links below for your child's grade, you will find lessons provided in Units (groups of 4 lessons). Each unit should be completed within a 4-week time frame. You can complete them one lesson per week, or all 4 lessons in one day or any way that is most convenient for your family. Depending on the grade, each lesson is formatted to take between 15-30 minutes to complete. You will need internet access, the Be My Disciples Textbook for your child’s grade and writing utensils and paper. For younger grades, you may use scissors and glue/tape occasionally.
Before you begin your teaching time, we encourage you to set a prayerful atmosphere by creating a learning space that helps you and your child focus on God. Some suggestions are lighting a candle, getting out a crucifix or a bible or a rosary or statue of a saint or picture to help remind your child that we are coming into God’s presence to not just learn about Him but spend time with Him and learn from Him.
We encourage you to always start your time in a short prayer.
Lessons for each grade are formatted in a similar manner. There will be a video to watch and an activity to do. (Note: you may need to copy and paste the links provided into your browser depending on which device you are viewing this on). Important information that should be communicated to the student is written as red text. Completed lessons for each unit should be submitted in an email from the coordinator at education@stpaulsparish.ca. To submit items, simply reply to that email with the requested items attached.
Textbooks will be used as part of this program. Books are available to purchase from the Main Office by cash, cheque or e-transfer. If paying by e-transfer, please send the funds to office@stpaulsparish.ca and have the security answer as “church”. Please include in the memo section the name and grade of the student(s) you are paying for and we will have their books labeled for you to pick up from the office. Reminder that books are $20 each up to a max of $50 per family. If paying by cash or cheque, you can do so at the Main Office between the hours of 9am & 4pm Mon-Fri.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the coordinator at anytime at education@stpaulsparish.ca or by phone at 902-724-3645 on Tues, Wedn and Thurs.
