Religious Education

As you would expect, religious education is provided to students attending Sacred Heart of Jesus School. We also provide religious education opportunities to adults and to children who attend public schools. We encourage parishioners who want a deeper relationship with Jesus to take advantage of our Adult Faith Formation program, our Parish School of Religion, and our Vacation Bible School.

Adult Faith Formation

This ministry schedule promotes and coordinates activities that encourage parishioners’ spiritual growth, helping them to grow in grace and foster closer relationships with Christ. Meetings are held bi-monthly for 1/2 – 1 hour in order to plan and coordinate activities and follow-up to expedite those activities. For more information on Adult Faith Formation contact Kurt Gerschutz at 330.334.5366 or Mark Smith at 330.606.7195.

Sacred Heart University of Religion (SHUR)
In support of the mission of the Adult Faith Formation Commission, Sacred Heart University of Religion (SHUR) intends to provide a continuing stream of educational programs for our adult parishioners. These programs will mainly use parishioners as facilitators/teachers who will draw from a rich library of pertinent books, DVDs and other media available from various Catholic sources.  For more information about SHUR contact Dick or Barbara Hills at 330.336.6946.
