The St. Michael program of religious education prepares children and youth to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation to be in full communion with the Catholic Church. Adult volunteers and AU student ministry teams work with children and youth in all of our programs. All volunteers undergo training and background checks in order to participate in ministry for the welfare and protection of our students.
In addition to religious education and sacramental prepartion, we plan and organize a weekly Children's Liturgy of the Word on Sundays during the 10:30 Mass (when classes are in session). Other annual events are youth service projects, receptions following services for First Communion and Confirmation, Christmas and Easter celebrations, and a week-long summer scripture and catechesis program called Catholic Kids Camp.
