Registration for 2018-2019 is Active! Welcome to St. Patrick Religious Education. Parents, we are honored to partner with you and your family as you continue your journey to heaven!
Remember, YOU ARE LOVED! When you receive this love from God, you will overflow the love to others.
- Attend weekly mass, pray together at meals and in the morning and evening!
- Say the rosary together (even if it is only a decade at a time).
- Do something nice for others!
-
-
- Faith at Home!
- Parents are the most influential agents of catechesis for their children. They have a unique responsibility for the education of their children; they are their first educators, or catechists. (National Directory of Catechesis 234)
- …to love the Lord your God and to serve Him with all your heart and all your soul,
- Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. – Deuteronomy 11:13,18-19
- “Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested services are the rule.” – Catechism: #2223
- The hope of the Faith Formation Program at St. Patrick is to give you places you can learn more about your faith – so that you can share it with your family.
- 21 Faith Starter Conversations
- A month of Dinner Conversations
