Home-Based Catechesis: Parents who wish to teach religion at home are encouraged to do so under the direction of the Pastor, the master catechist of the parish, and in cooperation with his parish school of religion (CCE). 

Parents teaching religion as part of a comprehensive home school curriculum are not required to register in CCE, or use a CCE-issued textbook, unless it is a sacrament year. All children preparing for sacraments do so through a parish sacrament program (See Mary Queen Parent Handbook section III, A). Home-based catechetical materials should be chosen from the Conformity Listing of Catechetical Texts and Series provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Subcommittee on the Catechism, July 24, 2018.

Parents who teach religion at home as an alternative to attending CCE classes will register and pay the fee to obtain home study materials and have the work recorded in the office. This is especially important in a pre-sacrament year.

There will be a brief parent orientation on October 7, 2018, from 10:45 - 11:15 AM, in La Salette Hall. Parents receive a Family Learning Guide, a student textbook(s) and a calendar with the suggested schedule of lessons. Quarterly meetings give parents the opportunity to meet other parents, receive information about parish family events, and turn in completed lessons for credit. Final work is to be turned in at the final parent meeting in May. Student exit interviews in June finish out the year, and are made by appointment.
