PARISH SCHOOL OF RELIGION
This program is for parishioners in Grades 1-8 who attend area public schools. It seeks to enable students to grow in their relationship with Christ and his doctrine within the experience of Christian community. It prepares individuals for effective Christian witness and service.

Volunteers are always welcomed to teach these classes. The program coincides with the school year.
CHILDREN'S LITURGY OF THE WORD
As a service to parents and their children, during the 9:15AM Sunday Mass, children are led forth from church immediately after the opening prayer to hear the Word of God proclaimed at their level of understanding. Here we strive to enrich the children’s liturgical experience of God’s presence in the ritual proclamation of the Word and ponder what it means in their lives. They return to church and their families during the Preparation of the Gifts. This liturgical offering is designed for children ages 5 through second grade. There is no registration or cost for the weekly sessions.
