Religious Education Program & Sacramental Preparation

2025-2026 School Year

Registration for the 2025-2026 Religious Ed school year will open in August!


Classes begin in September.


Questions should be emailed to Eloy Escamilla at eescamilla@stgertrudechicago.org. 

Religious Ed Classes Info

For children in grades 1-8 who attend public or non-Catholic private schools, the Religious Education program provides a faith community for children and their families as they awaken, nourish, and deepen their awareness of God's presence in all things. 


The goal of the Religious Education program at Saint Gertrude is to teach children to listen for and respond to God's invitation to love. 


In class, students and teachers work to: 

  • Understand that everyone is loved and treasured by God.
  • Live the lessons of Jesus Christ - loving God with your whole heart and loving your neighbors as yourself.
  • Build a deeper personal relationship with God through prayer and reflection.
  • Learn to pray as an individual and as part of a community. 
  • Discover ways to love and serve others in our day-to-day lives. 
  • Appreciate what it means to be part of a welcoming, loving community that cares for and respects people from all walks of life.
  • Deepen their knowledge of the Catholic tradition.

Fees

The fees for the 2025-2026 school year will be shared soon.


An additional sacramental fee is required for children making their First Communion and First Reconciliation, or their Confirmation. 

Payments are accepted here
