Our online registration is being worked on at this time. If we can effectively fix the platform, we will notify families. Again, check in regularly as information is constantly being updated.
Registration for 2022-2023 is due by Sunday, October 16. Registrations after this date will incur a $15.00 late fee and depend on availability in our classrooms. Our goal is to never leave a child out of the programs; however, due to limited space and teachers, we have limitations with enrollment.
We welcome and are delighted to accept all students; however, no walk-ins will be accepted on the first day of class. Students need to have been pre-registered and assigned to a class list to attend the first day of class—no exceptions to this rule.
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2022-2023 YEAR HAS CLOSED.

Additional Sacramental tuition applies to First Holy Communion & Confirmation students, payable in the spring of 2023. This fee is only for students receiving Sacraments in 2023.
You can pay by CASH or CHECK. Checks payable to St. John Paul the Great with your child’s name on the memo section of the check.
Religious Education fees are to cover the cost of books and education material. If you have difficulty paying the fee, please discuss it with me. All children are welcome and will not be kept from admission due to the inability to pay the fee.
How can I return the forms and payment?
The registration form, the cash or check payment, and the documents can be mailed to the address below or drop them off in our mail slot outside of the pastoral center next to St. Francis church. You can also place them in the collection at the Masses, St. Peter, and St. Francis Church. Or you can attend our in-person registration sessions dates listed above. Whatever method you choose, please make sure you label all correspondence.
ADDRESS TO MAIL OR DROP OFF PAYMENT
Pope John Paul II Pastoral Center
160 Main St. Torrington, CT 06790
c/o Jen Owens
Please do not mail in CASH. Cash payment can be put in an envelope with your child’s registration and properly labeled RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, c/o Jen Owens in the collection at the churches or placed in your packet in our mail slot found on the back porch at the pastoral center (next to St. Francis Church between City Hall and the church). All envelopes must be addressed to Jen Owens Religious Ed, and your child’s name(s) must be on them. Thank you!
Online Payment
At this time, you can pay for multiple students in grades K-8th at ONE TIME. However, if you have a child in the K-8th and in the Confirmation program, you will need to do a separate transaction for that payment using the same link.
EXAMPLE 1: If you're registering a child in our High School Confirmation program ONLY, one transaction is acceptable.
EXAMPLE #2: If you're registering multiple children in multiple grades but all within K thru 8, one transaction is acceptable.
EXAMPLE #3: If you're registering multiple children with a combination of K-8th and Confirmation, you can register them using one entry, but you will need to process one payment for grades K thru 8 categories first; after that payment has been processed, you can click the link again and pay for the High School Confirmation fee(s). You may sometimes experience system errors depending on the web browser you are using. Microsoft Edge seems to be a user-friendly browser.
