Our mission is to teach all of God's children to know Him, love Him and serve Him in this world and the next.

Catechism Corner

With that first hectic Wednesday behind us, we would like to thank everyone for their help and patience getting through the mass confusion and congestion that seems to always occur the first week of class.  As you can see we are utilizing every inch of space available to us in the parish for catechism.  We have once again added many new families this year with just over 300 children enrolled.  Please pray that the children of the program continue to strive to be saints by working hard to know, love, and serve God in this world and the next.

Look for future updates/notifications regarding the catechism program on a monthly basis in the bulletin.

Parents, we are asking for your cooperation when picking up your children from catechism.  For the safety of all the children, we must ask that you remain behind the double doors at both ends of the classroom hallways until all the children return to their rooms after Benediction.  For the first few weeks, we may run a few minutes behind because we are trying to teach the children the proper way to enter the church during Adoration and exit after Benediction.  Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

CATECHISM CORNER - “Striving to be Saints”

We often hear that the young people of today are selfish, but that certainly does not apply to many of the young people of our parish. We are thrilled to share with you that we have several teenagers that have volunteered their time to help in our classrooms assisting our religious education teachers. Former Confirmation Students have offered their help with some of our parish’s service projects, even though it is no longer a requirement. We are very proud of these students and want to recognize and thank them for their efforts to live their lives as God wants them to. These young men and women are learning by the examples of their parents and the many volunteers of our parish whose efforts are obviously noticed.

We have a class for children with special needs.  Please contact one of the directors at their number listed below and they will assist you in registering your child.
