The religious education program serves as a partnership with parents, who are the primary teachers of the faith to their children. This program will offer instruction on the teachings of the Catholic faith in the areas of prayer, doctrine, Scripture, and morality.
The program is a supplement for your instruction at home, the domestic church. This means that the real formation of your child’s faith will occur in the day-to-day lifestyle, prayers, choices, activities, and example set by you. At religious education classes, we will provide resources and instruction that will help the children understand these concepts more deeply, in hopes that we will contribute to their life-long spiritual development.
