Religious Education
“But Jesus called for them and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, will never enter it.”
Luke 18: 16-17
"Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years. This already happens when family members help one another to grow in faith by the witness of a Christian life in keeping with the Gospel. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents."
Catechism of the Catholic Church, Canon 2226
Our Religious Education
Our mission is to help you as parents / guardians to nurture and foster growth in the Catholic faith of your children. As your child’s first catechist, we want to provide faith formation into the realization of a deeper understanding of the words and ideas which guide the Catholic understanding of God - to foster a growing spiritual sense of closeness with God by fully living out our faith. This is accomplished with the amazing help from catechists and assistants of our Parish who give of their time and talents.
