Catechism Class is an important stepping stone in a young Christian's growth in the Lord. The two years spent in weekly Catechism Class provide a deeper understanding of the Bible and how it applies to our lives. Class meets on Wednesday evenings in the Fellowship Hall from 7:15-8:15 p.m. Toward the end of 8th grade Catechism, the 8th graders receive their first Communion (traditionally in the Maundy Thursday service). Confirmation Sunday to be announced.

A note on the picture above: each year, the 8th grade Catechism class plants a tree around St. Matthew's property. This apple tree was planted by our catechism students several years ago.
