************************************************************************** Our site is dedicated to providing information about those activities that are part of the REO, including:
Parish School of Religion (PSR). PSR consists of the Faith Formation programs for children in grades PRE-K - 7. It includes the Sacramental preparation associated with First Reconciliation & First Holy Communion, both occurring in the 2nd grade. If you wish to access the sacramental information directly, there is a navigation bar on the left of this page. The PSR program gathers at two different days/times, 10:30am-11:30am on Sunday mornings (grades PRE-K - 3rd) and 7:00pm-8:15pm on Monday evenings (grades 4 - 7). Our sessions generally start in September and end at the the beginning of May, with a break at both Christmas and Easter time.
Parish Youth Ministry. The Youth Ministry deals with maturing & strengthening the Faith of our Parish Teens. This is done through a number of activities . . . - Teen Faith Program is for our 8th & 9th grade youth.

Each session is 5-6 weeks long. Sessions are on Sunday & Monday nights during the school year. - Youth Group meets on a monthly basis. The objective is to gather for faith-based fun and fellowship. All teens 8th grade and up and their friends of all faiths are welcome and encouraged to attend. - Sacramental preparation for Confirmation. Starting in September of each year, this process is for those 10th graders of our Parish who are ready to complete their initiation into the Catholic Church.

Question of the Week http://www.wholecommunitycatechesis.com/pages/questions.html
This new feature is a question which is related to the Readings of the season. It is designed to help us as we live out the good news we hear at mass. Some will use it for reflection & prayer. Others use it as a starter question for their journal. Finally, some use it for family or group discussion. However you decide to use it, I hope it helps you on our journey of faith!----
The most current question is at the
top. It goes back in time as you scroll down. As you will see,
there is one question for adults and one for children.
