 The term catechist is used in a broad sense to designate one who participates formally or informally in catechetical ministries. All members of a community of believers are called to share in this ministry by being witnesses to the faith--by echoing Christ in their lives.

Recognizing that Parents are the primary catechists for their children, we understand that the Family, as the domestic church, is the place where faith is planted and nurtured. We are committed to assist you in the cultivation of the on-going development of faith already begun in your homes. We encourage each individual to develop his /her personal gifts so as to recognize his/her full potential as a member of the Body of Christ.

We wish to offer children opportunities to establish a relationship with Jesus Christ by hearing and experiencing His words with the witness of their Church community.

For this purpose we will strive to:

Provide an environment where Gospel values are fostered.ide opportunities for prayer, reflection and liturgical celebrations to stimulate the student's relationship with Christ. 

 Provide intellectual challenges appropriate for each grade level.

Invite and encourage catechists from the parish community to participate in opportunities to update and deepen their faith, as witnesses of the Good News.

 Offer sacramental preparation programs that invite family and parish participation.

Challenge our students to make the teachings of Jesus a part of their lives, serving their community, each in their own way, according to one's abilities. 

 It is evident we cannot do this alone. Together as a "Christian faith team" including the parish, the families, the catechists, the staff, and the students, we, by virtue of our Baptism, can profess and bring to fulfillment the values and promises of the Kingdom of God.
