The Religious Education Program of Our Lady of Sorrows serves the families of our Parish as well as the surrounding community. All of the Children whether in a parochial school or public school attend our Sunday Bible School together. Our goal is to provide and nurture our Catholic Faith and Christian values. We also prepare the children  to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation.

Bible School Classes are held on Sunday from 11:30am-12:30pm enabling the children who attend the 10:30am Mass in English and those who attend the 1:00pm Mass in Spanish to come together.
