The Bishops of the Second Vatican Council, in their document on Christian education, state that parents are the first and foremost catechists of their children. They teach informally, but powerfully, by example and instruction. The role of the parish in instructing the faith to our children is one of shared responsibility with the family. Formal religion classes provide instruction that builds on the lived faith of the students within his or her family. The teachers and staff of our Parish School of Religion educate in a classroom setting using catechetical instruction, stimulating activities, discussion, Christian witness, prayer, and love.

Kindergarten through grade 6 meets on Saturday mornings at the Parish Center. The two session times offered are 9:00-10:10 a.m. and 10:30-11:40 a.m.

The High School Program, grades 7 through 11, meets Sunday and Monday evenings from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at various homes throughout the parish.

Information about preparation of children and youth for the sacraments of confirmation and reconciliation can be found at Sacraments.

YOUR INVOLVEMENT: We are always in need of volunteers: Teachers, substitute teachers, Saturday Morning Co-coordinator and families who are willing to serve as host homes for our high school classes.
