Religious Education
"I am a small pencil in God's hand." - Saint Mother Teresa
Children in Pre-school through 8th grade attend Religious Education (R.E.). Classes meet three times a month, September to April. Students learn about the beauty of our Catholic faith through catechetical instruction, take part in service projects, pray the Stations of the Cross, receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation, pray the Rosary, interact with saints from the past (as acted out by our Life Teen students), celebrate our patron saint, and more! Dedicated catechists from our parish instruct students and serve as witnesses to their faith. Come learn with us as we grow in the love of Christ!
Our R.E. program also serves as the main form of contact for our children's ministry activities. Contact us to get involved, have some fun, and grow as a parish family! We offer a Christmas Eve Narrative, Youth Choir, and more! Information for special events will go home with students throughout the school year.
Thank you to our catechists for working with the youngest members of our parish! I'm so very thankful for the gift of your time and talents.
