Religious Education  宗教教育

Family is our kids first mini-church. As parents it is our duty to bring Religious Education to our kids both in our homes and in formal Religious Education (RE). We hope that you will register your Pre-K to 12th Grader in Catholic Religious Education Class and make sure to take them to Mass each Sunday.  Our Lady of China Rockville, and Kuang-Chi Chinese School will host the following CCD classes during 2023-2024 School Year. We are still looking for teachers for some of the classes that are TBD. Please pray about if God is calling you to volunteer this year to pass on the faith to our children!   Online Registration: https://ourladyofchina.net/rockvillerereg.  First day of RE class is Saturday September 16, 2023.

家庭是我們孩子的第一個小教會。 作為父母，我們有責任帶給與孩子家庭中和教室中的宗教教理。我們希望您能找到一種方法，讓您的Pre-K 至 12 年級學生註冊天主教宗教教理班並在每週日帶他們參加彌撒。 中華聖母傳教中心和光啟中文學校將在 2023-2024 學年舉辦以下宗教教理課程。我們仍在為某些待定課程尋找老師。請祈禱今年您是否能回應上主對您呼召，自願將信仰傳遞給我們的孩子！ 網上報名: https://ourladyofchina.net/rockvillerereg. 宗教教理課程是 2023 年 9 月 16 日星期六開始上課。

The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven.  In confession we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God!  Catholics are required to confess their sins at least once a year per the Precepts of the Catholic Church.  

告解聖事是天主賜予我們的禮物，以便洗禮後犯下的任何罪孽都可以得到寬恕。 在告解過程中，我們有機會悔改並恢復與上主的友誼和恩典！ 根據天主教會的戒律，天主教徒每年至少必須領用告解聖事一次。

Jesus gives us the gift of Himself in the Eucharist!  Like all the sacraments of the Catholic Church, the Eucharist is an encounter with Jesus Christ.  It is the “source and summit” of all sacramental encounters with our Lord.  The Eucharist is the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ; it is Christ Himself. 

Students in the First Communion class will prepare to receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time at their First Holy Communion at the end of the school year.

“The sacrament of Confirmation is the full outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost” (CCC 1302).  It is in the Sacrament of Confirmation that we called to experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to strengthen us for our mission of spreading and defending our faith.

Students in the 7th and 8th grade classes (2-year program) will prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation at the end of the school year in their 8th grade year
