Religious Education of youth is a priority at Mary Queen of Heaven. Following the guidelines set forth by the Diocese of Joliet, we strive to provide a variety of programs that meet the catechetical needs of our young people.

Currently our sessions run from mid-September to the end of April. We meet on Wednesdays in the school building. There are three different sessions:
