Religious Education and Confirmation

Our program supports each family’s role as primary educators in their child’s faith formation. Our program is based on a holistic approach of instruction, celebration, social activities, and outreach to the poor as the basis for the development of mature faith in the Catholic Tradition. 

We offer weekly ongoing religious education from preschool to 8th grade, First Holy Communion preparation, and our Confirmation process for high school teens.
