Religious
Education
=======================================================================================
Children's Program
The goal of Children's Religious
Education program is to
offer a comprehensive,
quality program where children can experience and learn the importance
of their gift of faith. We endeavor to
make them aware of the richness of Catholic doctrines and traditions
and to become rooted in scripture. We give
them the opportunity to answer the call to discipleship by experiencing
community with their peers and involvement
in service projects. We hope that these goals can be achieved in a fun
and caring environment.
While all of this is true, you, the parents, are still the
primary
catechists
to your children. What you do in the home is extremely important in
helping your children develop a deep relationship
with God and knowledge about their Catholic faith. The religious
education ministry considers it an honor and
a privilege to help you with this awesome responsibility.
It is our hope that we can work together in passing on the gift of
faith
to the younger members of our parish community.
Let us support, encourage and pray for one another. The
catechists who teach your children are parishioners who volunteer their
time and talent. They come forward to share their faith. Many of them
have taught one year or more. All catechists
are encouraged to grow in their awareness and knowledge of our Catholic
faith and to develop their personal spirituality.
Adult and teen aides assist the catechists each week. You are welcome
to become involved either as a catechist or as
an aide.
Kid's
Word
Most Sundays at
10:00 AM Mass all children, between the ages of three and eight, are
invited to join in Kid's Word in the
church basement. Kid's Word is liturgy that is especially
written for children to understand.
