About Our Program
MISSION STATEMENT
We aim to help students encounter Christ and grow in relationship with Him by assisting parents in the faith formation of their children. We strive to connect the message and values of Jesus Christ through scriptures, worship, sacraments, prayer, instruction, and service, empowering our community to respond to their baptismal call to use their time, talent and treasure and follow Christ's example to love.
CORE VALUES
There are 10 core values at the heart of our religious education program that strengthen our approach to faith formation.
PRE-K TO 5TH GRADE CURRICULUM
Our religious education program provides a robust curriculum designed to teach students about their Catholic faith as they develop a deep and personal relationship with Christ.
COMMUNITY BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES
Faith. Fun. Fellowship. Not only will our religious education program provide the knowledge of how students and their families can grow in faith, but it allows opportunities to grow in community with other families fostering supportive and safe environments designed to develop healthy friendships.
