Religious Education
Welcome to our Religious Education program, better known as Households of Faith. It is our wish to journey along with you in bringing your child to a deeper understanding of the richness of the Catholic Church and its teachings.
Since its beginning, the Catholic Faith has been transmitted from generation to generation, from age to age in its stories, rituals, practices and traditions. The Church, in its wisdom, recognizes the need for all its members to be catechized in the faith; thus, the Households of Faith Program invites the whole family to partake in this ongoing Faith Formation process.
Households of Faith meets two Sundays a month for an hour and a half. The whole community learning structure is a valuable tool for bringing the faith to life. Parental participation in the program as well as community membership is integral to its success.
Fee Schedule:
1 child - $30
2 children - $40
3 or more children - $50
Scholarships are available.
