Parent Partnership

We recognize that parents are the primary religious educators for their children.  We support parents by offering a strong religious education program for children, adults and families.

We ask that you support your children by bringing them to church school as often and as consistently as possible for your family.  Children learn better and form closer ties with their peers when they are "regulars".

Visit our classrooms and introduce yourself to our youth.  Ask questions.  Talk about our faith during the week.

Please contact our Director of Religious Education, Regan Batuello, with any questions or concerns about our RE programs.
