Welcome to the 2020-2021 Religious Education Program!
REGISTRATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 1ST!
St. Augustine Cathedral will have Religious Education Bilingual Program for elementary school age
children Grades 1-5 for the school year 2020-2021. A schedule of classes for high school will be listed
separately on our website. Classes will begin on Wednesday, October 7 for the English speaking from
5:00 pm – 5:45 pm and on Thursday, October 8 for the Spanish speaking from 5:00 pm – 5:45 pm.
We will be offering classes for 1st year students for the exception of those who were part of
our program last year. These students will be prepared for the Sacraments of the Eucharist and
Reconciliation. If you have a child that attended Religious Education at another parish this past year,
we will need a letter from that parish certifying that your child completed 1 full year of religious
education. Sacramental preparation for all other students will be a 2-year requirement.
There are some important changes that you need to be aware of:
REGISTRATION - We will NOT have in person registration this year due to COVID-19 restrictions
for elementary and high school Religious Education classes. We will register by telephone for
those who do not have access to the internet. Registration will only be available ONLINE starting
September 1 - October 1, 2020. The suggested donation for classes is $80.00 per child.
You can find the links to the required registration forms in the sidebar of this page. Please return your registration & permission forms, required certificates, & payments (All Together) either by mail (address on registration form) to the parish or by email to recathedal@diocesetucson.org.
We will only be accepting payment in the form of check, debit, or credit card. If paying by check,
you may mail your payment to the parish (address on registration form) along with paperwork.
BIRTH AND BAPTISMAL CERTIFICATES will be required as part of the registration process.
Please attach copies to the registration form. We will also accept scanned copies.
CLASS INSTRUCTION - The catechists will teach via video on Zoom from the parish hall and each
class will be for 45 minutes in both languages on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Email addresses
will be required from each family so that we can assign each student an eBook. A meeting will
be scheduled with the parents on October 21, 2020 to discuss the new format of the program.
FAMILY CATECHESIS – Fr. Alan will be meeting with parents separately every other month virtually via Zoom. These meetings will most likely not be on Wednesdays or Thursdays. You will be notified of the first meeting by email.
IN PERSON INSTRUCTION: We may return to in person classroom instruction in January 2021;
however, we are prepared to provide online instruction for the entire year.
