They are encouraged to attend our FREE Sunday Religious Education program designed to guide them on a journey of faith, learning, and spiritual growth. Every Sunday, beginning October 20 from 9:50 to 10:50 am in the Parish hall, candidates come together to explore their faith more deeply, connect with peers, and build a strong foundation for receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
This program not only helps your child understand the core teachings of the Catholic faith but also encourages them to live out those values in their everyday lives. Through engaging lessons, discussions, and activities, your child will gain a deeper sense of belonging to our parish community and develop a meaningful relationship with God.
Give your child the opportunity to grow in faith, make lasting friendships, and confidently prepare for this important sacrament. This program is open to all children from grades 1 – 7. We look forward to welcoming them to this enriching experience! Contact the Parish office to register.
