The Religious Education Program at St. Francis of Assisi is dedicated to the formation of the entire person to faith, developing a life in harmony with Christ’s message and encouraging an active participation in the Liturgy and community. Our mission is to instill in our students Christian values and attitudes by providing both an education and an environment in they can grow in faith.
Religious Education begins in the “Domestic Church”, the family. We strive to bring to maturity this seed of faith in partnership with the parents who through the sacrament of marriage were called to this ministry by accepting to bring their children up according to the law of Christ and His Church. This call was answered when their children were Baptized and the parents “accepted the responsibility of training them in their practice of the faith…to bring them up to keep God’s commandments as Christ taught us by loving God and our neighbor.”
St. Francis of Assisi Religious Education Program aids parents in educating their children in the Catholic faith. Through this partnership we seek to foster in the hearts of every believer a burning desire, a deeper knowledge, and love of Jesus Christ.
In addition to classes for children, we also offer Sacrament preparation for adults. This is known as RCIA.
