This is an exciting time in the Catholic Church in which we are all encouraged to be people of the New Evangelization. At the recent World Youth Day in Krakow, Pope Francis challenged the youth to be disciples and bring God's message of faith and salvation to the "world". First they need to learn the message! This is the time for you to register your children for religious education so that they will learn about their faith through understanding the Mass and the Bible readings that they hear at Mass.
Historically, St. Peter the Apostle Parish is committed to the religious education of all as taught by Jesus Christ. The child celebrates his/her relationship with God and with the community through the sacramental life of the Church.
The goal of the religious education program is to provide children with an environment that will foster growth and participation in the teaching and practices of Jesus Christ. The program fosters the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and social development of each child. It is our aim to provide experiences through active participation in liturgy and prayer that will develop children who are wise in their faith and committed to service both to their faith and social communities.
The St. Peter the Apostle Religious Education Program includes the participation of our Clergy, Catechists Aides, volunteers, and a parent partnership all dedicated to fostering each student’s growth in personal holiness through his relationship with God.
You as the parent/guardian are responsible for the child's religious education and we thank you for allowing us to work with you in the formation of your child’s faith.
