YOUTH FAITH DEVELOPMENT

 

Children’s Catechumenate

 

This program works with children who have had no formal religious education.  Children, who are in the elementary grades, but who have not received the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation or Holy Communion, would participate in this program.  Classes are held every Sunday after Mass from September through Pentecost.

 

Parishioners who would like to volunteer as a catechist are always welcome.  The benefits are working with children and parents who are truly happy to be there.
