Curriculum
Our curriculum presents Catholic Doctrine within the framework of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.CREED | what we believeSACRAMENTS | how we celebrate CHRISTIAN LIVING | how we live PRAYER | how we pray Together, we are all rooted in Jesus Christ. We believe, celebrate, and pray together as the people of God. We have made every effort to provide a doctrinally sound and developmentally appropriate program in Faith Formation.
Your involvement as a parent in this program is essential. If you know what your child is learning at each level, you can assist your child in learning the concepts and experiencing the practices offered.
Let us pray that we may be rooted in Jesus Christ as a parish faith community.
