"Teacher," he said, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "What is written in the law? What do you read there?" He answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live." -- Luke 10: 25-28
The goal of religious education is to help the parish children to discover and experience God’s presence in their lives, through the on-going religious formation in the Roman Catholic tradition. We prepare the children for the Sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation so they will experience new growth and receive the gift of God’s love.
