As parents and Godparents, we accepted, at baptism, the responsibility “to assist the one baptized in living the Christian life and fulfilling faithfully the obligations flowing from it” (CCL).  Children are to be enrolled in a Religious Education Program.  Our Parish proudly fulfills its mission in the complete nurturing and faithful formation of our children through our Religious Education Program.  We offer English & Spanish language Religious Education classes for children.  Sunday mornings.

These are regular, grade-level Religious Education classes meant to continue the baptismal commitment to grow in faith.  All sacraments require a two year preparation.
