Holy Ghost's ECF: Religious Education Classes
Registration for ECF Classes currently NOW CLOSED. Registration will reopen in August and may be done online or by calling the Church Office. All school-aged children in grades K-8 are welcome AND strongly encouraged to attend. Classes will begin in September.
Please take this obligation seriously and put your child's religious education BEFORE all other activities. ECF not only teaches our children how to become closer to God through prayer, service, and knowledge, but it also teaches them what it is to be an Eastern Rite Catholic, and the beautiful traditions of the Byzantine Catholic Church. To read a blog of what we did past years please click HERE. We welcome the opportunity to teach your child about his or her faith, and the ways of our beautiful Rite.
