Mission Statement

The mission of the Religious Education program is too make each student aware of the presence of God in his or her life, to develop a solid foundation in our faith, to make each child conscious of the needs of others, and to create an atmosphere in which all children can express and discuss their ideas, thoughts, and beliefs about God.

The Religious Education Program is responsible for the formal religious education of almost 600 young people in the parish. Our program depends upon the generosity of about 60 volunteers who help in many capacities, not the least being as Catechists. We always welcome volunteers to help us according to their gifts. We offer diverse programs to fit the needs of our families.
