It is important that we nurture the faith of all of our parish children. Students in grades PreK-8 who are not receiving
a Catholic school education should be receiving religious education instruction and sacramental preparation through our
Religious Education program.
Our comprehensive program teaches the fundamental truths of the Catholic faith. Trained, volunteer catechists share
their faith with the students, leading them to the realization that Catholic Christian living is their response
to God's love.
Additionally, children and adults who are not baptized but wish to learn more about the Catholic faith can
enroll in our RCIA classes.
New and returning registrations are being processed for the 200-2010 year. Summer office hours
are:
Weekdays from 9am to 3pm
Sundays from 11am to noon
Tuesdays from 6:30 to 7:30pm
New students must bring a copy of their baptismal record.
*** Preparation for the Sacraments of First Penance & First Holy Communion, as well as Confirmation, is
a minimum of two years.
