Religious Education Classes are offered in a variety of sessions. Regardless of the session your child is registered for, it becomes the parent responsibility to have children participate in parish liturgical, outreach, and family activities throughout the year. The parish provides a wide variety of opportunities, as listed throughout this website, to support the parent in their endeavors.
Frank Kilkenny leads a class.
