RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Teaching the Word, Living the Way
Our Mission:

The Office of Religious Education strives to develop a strong sense of faith and Catholic identity in the youngest members of our church through young adulthood. 


We aspire to cultivate personal relationships for each child with our Lord Jesus Christ. Through these means, each child will become a living missionary disciple of Christ whose character and life are witnesses to His sacred teachings in the Gospels.

Classes We Offer
Sacramental Preparation

Serving children who have NOT received the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion. This is a 2 year program. 

Faith Formation

For children in grades 3-6 to continue learning about the Catholic faith, traditions and scripture AFTER receiving the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion. 

Junior High Ministry
