Religious Education Program
Welcome to Our Lady of the Cape’s Religious Education Program.
The Mission of the Religious Education Program of Our Lady of the Cape Parish is to assist parents in the religious, moral, and spiritual formation of their children. Parents are the primary educators of their children, teaching by word and example. Our parish catechists support the parents and students by providing quality religious education in a nurturing, faith-filled environment.

Vacation Bible Camp 2025
We are exited to offer Vacation Bible Camp this summer August 18 – 22, 2025 9:00AM – 3:00 PM. Our theme is “Magnify” from the Lifeway Vacation Bible Camp 2025.
Magnified! VBS will encourage kids to look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify, or proclaim, the greatness of God. God made us, cares about us, loves us, forgives us, and is faithful to keep all His promises to us. We can praise God together! We were made to magnify God!
The cost is $ 75.00 per family. Payment can be made the first day of camp August 18, 2025. Please use the link below to register:

First Communion
First Communion and First Reconciliation are celebrated in the 2nd Grade. Children must have attended religious education in the 1st grade prior to entering the 2nd grade first communion class. Communion specific sessions are included in weekly lessons. Sessions for older children wishing to celebrate sacraments are also offered.

Confirmation is a 2 -year process beginning in 9th grade. We confirm our candidates in the 10th grade.
