The Genesis Program is specially designed for High School students in ninth grade or older who will be Candidates for Confirmation in the following school year.

Registration for Genesis requires at least one year of participation in the EDGE Program or another Catholic Religious Education Program during Middle School/High School.

The purpose of Genesis is to give students an opportunity to review basic Catholic beliefs in order to help them live their faith in everyday life.  Genesis is designed to strengthen the knowledge of our youth so they understand their Catholic faith and feel confident sharing this faith with their peers.

Genesis meets 12 Sunday afternoons throughout the school year from 3:00-4:30PM in the New Education Building.

Attendance at these classes and participation in "LIFE Nights" on Sundays or "Scripture for LIFE" on Wednesdays will fulfill the Archdiocesan requirements for at least two years of mandated attendance by the Archdiocese for Religious Education prior to Confirmation.  The cost for the Genesis Program is $50 per student.

Parents of students in Genesis will be able to register for the 2009-2010 Confirmation Program at the last Parent Meeting, April 18, 2010.
