Religious Education Board

The community of St. Mary believes that Religious Education is a
continuing process, which strives to develop in each Christian, a mature
and enlightened faith. 

Religious Education has a threefold mission:  

    To teach the message of Jesus
    To build community
    To be of service to others

Our program is built on the premise that the formation of children will come about through the spiritual growth of their parents and Catechists.  We see
our program only as the partner and supporter of parents in carrying out the task of the Religious Education of their children.St. Mary's Religious Education Program seeks to meet the children where they are and to draw them gradually, according to their own development, into a deeper understanding and experience of their own faith.
