We thank you for allowing us to be partners with you in the religious formation of your children. The Catholic Church believes and professes that, “The Christian home is the place where children receive the first proclamation of the faith. For this reason the family is richly called “the domestic church,” a community of grace and prayer, a school of human virtues and of Christian virtues and of Christian charity.” (CCC 1666)
|
It is the parent’s right and role to pass their faith on to their children. Our role at St. Mary’s is to do all we can to support, assist, and encourage you as you model a Catholic Christian lifestyle for your family by your love and example.

It is important to remember that St. Mary’s Religious Education program is successful only by being in partnership with you the parents/guardians. Full participation in parish life, including regular Mass attendance, allows the children the opportunity to feel part of the parish family. It gives meaning and value to all they are learning about God, Jesus, and their Catholic Faith.

If at any time we can be of service to you or your family, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to working together with you to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
