We Love Religious Education!!!
    We ask God to transform our hearts and form us to be good educators according to his Spirit.
   Catechesis is “a fundamental element of evangelization through all its stages and that both those who evangelize and those who are evangelized need to be nourished by the word of God” (no.17c, National Directory for Catechesis, USCCB, 2005).
    And, of course, the family is a crucial collaborator in catechesis. As Pope Francis wrote in his Apostolic Exhortation The Joy of Love,  Parents are the “primary educators or catechists for their children”. Therefore, religious education begins at home.

Teen Confirmation:

• It is a two-year preparation program for students in grade 9^th & 10^th grade.   
• The program requires the following:
  • Meetings with parents and sponsors
  • Participation at 10:00 a.m. Sunday Mass 
  • Mandatory participation in one retreat for students with their sponsors.

 
*** Because of the two languages, English and Spanish, currently used in our Parish where many are not bilingual, classes for children, meetings with parents, and Confirmation retreats are always held separately.
