Mission Statement
To establish and maintain programs of religious
instruction, sacramental preparation and information concerning
the faith that promotes a deeper understanding of the faith and
the continual spiritual growth of parishioners of all age levels.
Religious education today is the effort to help people grow in
understanding, experience, and involvement in faith and Church.
We as the Church believe that head, heart and hands are all essential
to growth in Christian faith: understanding the message
of Jesus and His Church (head), experiencing what it means
to be Church through prayer and other action (heart), and serving
Christ's presence in others (hands). These are three interlocking
circles, each one religious education and each one necessary.
This statement means that our religious education program offers
you opportunities to complement and support what happens in yourself
and in your home. The parish programs we are publicizing these
days have one overall purpose -- to help us all mature in what
it means to be Catholic Christians. Without your participation
and involvement, our efforts are incomplete. Please consider the
programs, which are designed to meet your needs.
