Our parish has vibrant programs for our children and teens, and o
ur catechists are dedicated to working with parents to educate our youth in our Catholic Faith.  The most important teachers in a child's life are their parents; we are not here to take the place of Mom and Dad, but to support their efforts.

Class sizes are capped at 25 students and enrollment is on a first come-first serve basis due to our limited classroom space and the growing number of students we serve.
