The goal of catechesis is to lead others to union with Christ through initial evangelization, a prayerful encounter with Jesus, and then deeper understanding of the Faith, with growth in faith, hope, charity and daily prayer. The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis fosters the formation of adults, youth, and children. The office supports life-long formation so adults can fulfill their responsibility as confirmed Catholics to hand on the Faith. As authentic witnesses of Jesus Christ, those who teach the Faith need ongoing formation in fervent sacramental living, prayer and training in Methodology, Scripture, and Doctrine.

Because of the unexpected disruption of classes and parish life recently, your child/ren or teens did not receive these important lessons this academic year. We are asking parents, as the primary and most important catechists of your children, to help us provide for the safety of our children by discussing the “Circle of Grace Discussion and Activity” packet with your family. There are questions and activities for Kindergarten – grade 2; grades 3-5; grades 6-8; and high school students. English | Spanish
