Mission Statement |
We believe parents
are the first, but not the only teachers of their children.
The Domestic Church, the family, precedes, accompanies and enriches
all other
forms of religious education.It
is our philosophy that parents are the primary educators of their
children. Our religion extends infinitely beyond an hour in church
once a week. We can only support and reinforce that which is
practiced at home. We can give meaning to the rituals and symbols of
our Church, but only the family can give meaning to our faith in how
you live and worship every day. We are confident that your family’s
daily commitment to God combined with the curriculum and activities
provided by our Religious Education Program can and will effectively
guide our children as they grow, learn and face the future,
believing, loving and living the gift of faith. |
