Return to Faith Formation

 Youth Programs

Religious Education for Students Not Attending Catholic Schools:
　

Mission: 

·        To provide age appropriate catechesis for grades K-6 using Archdiocesan approved curriculum.

·        To assist the children as they grow in their relationship with Christ through prayer, faith sharing and scripture.

·        To encourage participation at Sunday Mass by providing sessions that allow for attending Mass before or after their class.

·        To provide instruction for those preparing to receive the sacraments of First Penance and First Eucharist.

·        To provide on-going faith sharing and catechesis for parents of RE students while their children are in class. 

Partners:

          Parents are the primary teachers of their children in the way of faith.  Parents are the living example of Christ.  Our role is to supplement what you are doing at home.  We are your partners in “planting and nurturing the seeds of faith.”
