St Isidore Religious Education

St Isidore Religious Education is a church and school located at 427 Army Trail Road in Bloomingdale, Illinois, United States. As a faith community, we are dedicated to providing initial formation for the young people of our parish, helping them navigate the intersection of faith and life. Our goal is to empower parents to be the primary religious educators of their children, and we work closely with Connect Youth Ministry, St. Isidore Catholic School, and parish staff to provide opportunities for growth in faith.

We welcome volunteers who are confirmed, practicing Catholics, 18 years or older, to share their faith with young people in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Training is provided, and classes meet once a week from September through April. In addition to teaching, volunteers can assist with various tasks such as greeting visitors, monitoring safety, and helping with office projects.

One unique opportunity for volunteers is to be a "Buddy" to a mainstream student with special needs in our religious education program. This one-to-one ministry can include sacramental preparation for Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation, and is coordinated by Certified Special Education Teachers, the Director of Religious Education, and the Classroom Catechist. Join us in our mission to nurture the faith of our young people and empower families to grow together in love and joy.
