Mission
The Office of Religious Education
to promote knowledge of the faith and the meaning of Liturgy and Sacraments
to teach each child how to pray with Christ and promote moral formation in Jesus Christ
to prepare children to live in community and participate actively in the life and mission of the Church
Vision
Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years. This already happens when family members help one another to grow in faith by the witness of a Christian life in keeping with the Gospel. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith.
Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents.
