Religious Education
Religious Education classes are offered to supplement and assist parents in their role as the primary catechists for their children. Attendance at these classes gives the child an opportunity for faith- sharing with peers and to ask questions of qualified catechists, while satisfying the Diocesan requirements for continuous instruction in the Faith as he/she prepares for other Sacraments.
