We strongly encourage parents and guardians to reinforce the spiritual foundation that our children receive in school and parish. Together, as a united faith community, we can prepare our children to grow in their love for God and their understanding of the Catholic faith.

This schedule runs for 15 Weeks of Classes with a catechism program called Signs of Grace “You Are Forgiven” and “You Are Loved”.
