Both the Preschool and Kindergarten Religious Formation classes use the I Am Special program. Classes meet from September through April during the 9:15 a.m. Mass on the first and third Sunday of each month so the children will still have exposure to the Mass environment. Registration is required.

The I Am Special program is based on the belief that young children need to develop positive self-concepts. Children need to feel good about themselves in order to love others as themselves.

I Am Special aims to provide a foundation upon which future religious education can be built. It offers religious learning experiences at the young child’s level of understanding.
