Religious Education
Religious Education classes at ESCM begins when the child is in 1st Grade of Primary school. The Classes aims to give children attending the various International Schools in and around Zürich an oppurtunity to learn about the Catholic Faith .
The first three years of instruction within the RE scheme follow this pattern:
- Foundation Course
- First Confession or Reconciliation
- First Communion
At the ESCM we teach the children about God’s loving forgiveness in a welcoming and child sensitive way, and First Confession is given face to face, not in a Confessional. It might be very unlike how you remember it being taught when you were a child!
Children must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation before receiving First Communion. Our Priest is happy to talk to any prospective parents about the First Reconciliation instruction should there be any concerns.
The First Confession is available to children in 2nd Grade who have completed the Foundation Course.
Not received First Confession yet?
If you are newly arrived in or moving to Zürich, your child has received First Communion but not yet First Confession, or you wish your child to join either the First Communion or the Post Communion classes, we can provide you with support and materials to home school your child for the Sacrament of First Confession.
Please make an appointment to see our Priest to discuss this.
