Religious School

Back to School Packets were mailed this week. Please read through them carefully and return the appropriate forms to us by August 20. If you did not receive your packet please call us at 301-774-9323.

All registration forms should have been sent to us with book and activity fees. We are in the process of setting up our classes and will be sending out postcards to confirm your child's assigned day at the end of August.


If you have not registered your children yet, we can no longer guarantee the day of your choice. If you have registered and have not been cleared by the bookkeeping department, your child's placement is on hold.

Please be advised that if you registed late for religious school (after July 1 office billing) those charges have been posted to your account and should be paid prior to receiving your holiday tickets. If you have any questions, you can contact the bookkeeping office at 301-774-0879.
