RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (Grades 1-12)
All Saints Pastorate offers religious education classes at each of our parish locations for students in grades 1-12. The Spirit of Truth curriculum is used for grades 1-6 at all pastorate parishes. Religious education classes are taught by volunteer catechists lead by our pastorate priests, pastorate Director of Evangelization, and each parish's Director of Religious Education. All adults who help with religious education are required to complete a background check and the annual Diocese of Sioux Falls Safe Environment training program. For more information about registering students for religious education classes or volunteering as a catechist, please contact your parish's Director of Religious Education.
