The High School Religious Education program at St. James has two components: core
(required) courses and elective courses. In order to be admitted to Confirmation
preparation, students must complete four core courses (Faith & Identity, Jesus & the
Gospels, Church, and Morality) and two different electives of their choosing.
Please register for the course(s) you wish to take this fall. Once a course is full, you will
