The parish religious education program is committed to a dynamic partnership with parents in the religious education of their children. Parents, by word and example, teach their children from birth throughout life. At their child’s Baptism parents undertake the responsibility of providing for its Christian formation.

The Religious Education staff endeavors to assist parents to build on and continue that Christian formation with formal classes. This partnership between parents and Religious Education staff requires ongoing communication and collaboration. In our classes, we seek to provide the catechesis and skills building needed for each child to grow and mature, as far as each is able, in understanding, positive attitudes, and faithful practice of the Catholic faith (see Cor. 13:11).

We strive, therefore to assist each child in committing him or herself to a relationship with God Characterized by a lifelong pattern of vigorous sacramental life, prayer, Christian service, and growth in understanding of the Catholic faith. Committed to an active partnership between program and families, we place our efforts with confidence in God’s loving hands.
