Religious Education Registration – Important Updates & Reminders

Dear St. John’s Families,

Religious Education registration is now open! Thank you for your continued patience as we make some changes to our registration process this year.

✅ Already Registered?
If you’ve already completed registration, thank you! Some families have started the process by updating their information, but have not completed payment or selected a session time. Please note: you are not considered registered until payment is made and a session is selected for each child.

If you believe you registered but aren’t sure, feel free to contact us at [email protected] for confirmation. We’ll also be sending reminders as the start of classes approaches, but we want to offer you peace of mind now.

🎓 SJES and Homeschool Families
If your children attend St. John the Evangelist Catholic School or are homeschooled, we still ask you to register, but no fee is required. Use the special code provided during registration. 

While we’re not providing materials or in-person instruction, registration helps us maintain accurate sacramental records and communicate efficiently from one central system. Thank you for your understanding! 

📅 New Class Schedule
Due to safety concerns and to allow our priests more time for sacramental support, sessions are no longer held on Sundays. This year’s options are:

  • Mondays from 4:30–6:00 PM
  • Mondays from 6:30–8:00 PM
  • Tuesdays from 6:00–7:30 PM

Once payment is complete, you’ll be able to choose your preferred session.

If you’re not prompted to register when you log in, please email us. We may need to make a quick adjustment to your account.

🗓️ First Day of Class: September 8 & 9

🙋♀️ Volunteers Needed
We’re still looking for catechists, assistants, and hall monitors. Volunteers receive a tuition discount. If you’re Virtus-trained—or willing to be—please reach out before registering so we can provide your discount code.

📧 Need Help?
We respond to all emails within 24 hours (Monday–Friday). If you don’t receive a response, please call us at the number below.

Thank you again for your support and patience as we transition into a new year. I look forward to working with you and your families!

In Christ,
Catherine Cobos
