We are excited to welcome students back to the 2024/2025 Religious Education Program.

In January of this year, Cardinal Sean O’Malley issued a letter informing parishes that the Sacrament of Confirmation grade was changing from Grade 10 to Grade 8. One major reason for this change is that the cardinal wishes to strengthen the participation of our youth and their families in our parishes. The Woburn Catholic Collaborative has embraced this initiative and is in the process of reformatting its Religious Education and Youth Ministry programs to better align with the change.

How does this affect registration for the 2024/2025 school year and what grade will your child(ren) receive the Sacrament of Confirmation?

Our programs are designed as building blocks to assist your child’s faith journey each year and to fulfill their Sacraments. The religious education and youth ministry staff and volunteers are excited for this upcoming school year. Along with classes in faith, there will be community service projects and retreats.

Thank you for setting an example as a family of faith by enrolling your child in the Woburn Catholic Collaborative (WCC) Religious Education and Faith Formation Program.  Your continued commitment to raise your child in the Catholic Faith lays the foundation for their life in the Church. I welcome your child back this September.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
