Family-Based religious education takes place under the authority of the pastor through the direction of the parish religious education coordinator. The faith is taught in the home by the parent/guardian, who is commissioned by the pastor to be the catechist for his/her own children. Holy Rosary Family-Based students will also be assigned to a program catechist as additional support.
Students registered for the Family-Based Model are required to attend the five in-person instructional sessions with their catechist, and parents/guardians twice during the program year as outlined below.

● In-Person Student Instructional Sessions for Family Online-Based Students:
