Religious Education of Children & Teens: The Church recognizes that we have but one teacher, Jesus Christ. Together, with the parents and the help of the Holy Spirit, the School of Religion endeavors to instruct children in the scriptures and traditions of the Church in order that they may become faithful and fruitful disciples of Jesus. The School of Religion is devoted to proclaiming the Christian message and promoting knowledge of the faith; preparing children for prayer and worship; cultivating moral formation; encourage Christian living and service and instilling a sense of community and a communal understanding of Church. Sessions are scheduled on Sundays from September through
April, 11:00a.m - 12:15p.m for Pre-K - Grade 5 and 7:00p.m. -
