Religious Education

Unleashing the Gospel for the next generation.

The Religious Education Program is a ministry devoted to faith development and grounded in the traditional teachings and practices of the Catholic Faith. It is a gradual and continuous program from grade 1 through grade 8. This ministry supports parents as the primary educators of the faith for their children and fosters a partnership between families and the whole Parish.
