Pre K - 8th Grade Religious Education
Pre-K through 8th Grade Religious Education at St. John takes place September-May. Our classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4:30 - 5:45PM and 6:45 - 8:00PM, and Sunday mornings from 9:00 - 10:15 AM. We also offer a once a month home study, and this class meets on the first Wednesday of each month from 6:45 - 8:00 PM.
We are committed to assisting all families, and especially welcome children with special needs.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to prayerfully lead people into faith-filled relationships with Jesus Christ through the Eucharist, and to do so in such a way that true conversion, a genuine transformation of hearts, beliefs and behaviors occurs.
We accomplish our mission by:
•Offering engaging weekly Catholic faith formation for children, staffed by caring and trained volunteers.
•Preparing children and adults for a lifetime of service and participation in the sacramental life of the Church.
•Providing vibrant, relevant, and meaningful Catholic youth ministry through The Edge for middle schoolers and Life Teen for High School youth.
•Creating opportunities for enriching faith formation for people of all ages, backgrounds and levels of understanding.
•Answering the universal call to holiness through which we strive to make everything we say and do visible signs of God’s love and mercy to our community.
CHRIST IS OUR HOPE!
