Registration Information

Dear Queen of All Saints Families,  

Queen of All Saints welcomes your family to our Religious Education Program, if you have been with us before or are new to the program we are thrilled to be part of your family’s faith journey. 

Queen of All Saints Religious Education Program begins at Kindergarten and goes through eighth grade. We expect all of our students to continue in the program every year after they have registered. Our program focuses on building Christ’s disciples who glorify the Lord by their lives. We also are here to assist all of our families in raising their children in the greatness of our Catholic faith. 

This year Religious Education classes will meet ONLINE via ZOOM on Saturday mornings from 9-10AM (1-6th grade). Tuesday evenings from 5-6PM (1-6th grade), and Tuesday Nights 7-8:30PM (7-8th grade Confirmation.)  

Registration operates on a first come, first serve basis. If we do not have enough catechists, students who registered last will be put on a wait list. We try to keep a teacher-student ratio of 1:12 in our classes.  

How to Register:  

To register you must be a parishioner of Queen of All Saints. There are two options for Religious Education registration. The first option is to fill out the forms on your computer, save the document, and email it to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . The second option is to print out the form and drop the completed registration form to our office in the parish rectory. Online and printed forms are attached to this email.  

To pay online go to the parish website and select Give Central. Please take notice of all instruction while paying online. Those who are paying by cash or check may bring their tuition to the rectory. Please note that if you pay but do not send in registration forms you are not officially registered, and a spot may not be available for your child if our class sizes are too large. All tuition must be paid in full by the first day of class. 

Registration for classes is over.  Please call the Religious Education office for more information. It is important that our families register on time in order for volunteer catechists to be recruited and trained; books, supplies, and materials to be ordered; and classrooms and worship spaces be reserved on campus.

In addition to religious education all families should be attending (or streaming) weekly Mass, going to confession (when available), participating in family prayer, and engaging in acts of service.

Students wanting to participate in First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation must attend a minimum of two years of Religious Education as per the archdiocesan requirement. Additional classes, parent meetings, and retreats may be required in order to prepare properly for the sacraments.

First Reconciliation and First Communion are traditionally received in second grade after two consecutive years of Religious Education. Students who are older than second grade will be enrolled in an additional class during their second year of Religious Education (these families will be contacted during the second year).

8th Grade Confirmation at Queen of All Saints

Confirmation is traditionally received during a student’s eighth grade after two consecutive years of religious education. The QAS confirmation program has three main pillars: education, service, and prayer. All students preparing for Confirmation must be enrolled in Queen of All Saints Religious Education program or Queen of All Saints School.
