Welcome to another great school year of religious education at St. Ann! Programs are Catholic religious study for students attending public or private schools, grades preschool through 8th grade. Please see the list of programs offered below and follow the instructions for registration, which is always open.
St. Ann School of Religion is made possible through a dedicated group of parishioners who provide sacramental education and religious enrichment for our students. We are always looking for volunteers for various aspects of our ministry, including catechists (teachers of the Faith), aides, musicians, babysitters and much more. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Maureen Leach at 913.660.1195 or

Elementary Program - School of Religion (SOR):
SOR consists of sacramental prep for First Reconciliation/First Communion Years I and II, followed by traditional grades 3-6 and wrapped up with Confirmation Years I and II. Classes are held on Mondays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. It is in these crucial years that the SOR volunteer catechists team up with parents (who are the primary educators of their children's social, educational and spiritual life) to help establish basic knowledge of the Catholic faith. This includes prayer, both memorized and spontaneous, trips to and explanations of the Sanctuary, Bible instruction, stories of the saints, Church history, as well as basic Church teachings. This program runs from September through April.
