The OLDP Elementary School of Religion Program is designed for Catholic Families with children enrolled in non-Catholic school of elementary age (grades K-7). The program provides faith formation with an emphasis on developing a deeper understanding of Catholic Life. First Sacraments formation is provided at the appropriate grade level (2nd grade, and as needed thereafter).

NOTE: In order for a child to be ready for the receiving of First Reconciliation & First Communion they must have been enrolled in two consecutive years of faith formation.
