The ministries of the Religious Education Program, support the Pastor and Catechetical leaders in the spiritual development of the youth of our parish family. It is important for all Catholics to grow in the knowledge of their faith and in their love of Christ and His Church. This can be accomplished with the extended help and support of all members of our parish family.

Our Parish School of Religion exists to support parents by providing Religious Education classes, providing a formal learning situation, and by offering opportunities for peer and community expressions of faith. Parents, by their example and guidance, are the primary religious educators of their children. The Church is committed to the religious education of its young people. In order to accomplish this for students who do not attend parochial school, parishes provide classes for school-aged children of the parish.
