IMPORTANT NOTICE
Dear Families,
As the COVID-19 pandemic dictates how we live today, it is clear that the necessary step to pull out of this crisis is the vaccination of the population. As Catholics, we are called to make moral decisions for living in community with others. You are invited to read statements from the Vatican and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops to be properly informed of the Church's position regarding vaccination for Covid-19.

The Office of Religious Education strives to develop a strong sense of faith and Catholic identity in the youngest members of our church through young adulthood.
