Program Philosophy:
The Religious Education program at Saint Francis of Assisi Parish is aimed at helping each student know and share God's love and become a confirmed Christian. We believe that each student is an individual deserving of sound Christian instruction.

We believe that all students must have a dear understanding of God and their faith, and should be capable of sharing that understanding with others. At Saint Francis of Assisi Parish, we attempt to create a positive atmosphere that encourages the growth of the full religious potential within each student. Through exposure to strong and caring Christian teaching and values, the seeds of faith that planed at Baptism will grow and flourish. In the way, we hope to assist each student in their journey toward Christian maturity.

We realize the parents are the first and most influential teachers in the lives of their children. Therefore, our aim is to work with the parents in the faith development of their children and to reinforce the Christian values that began at home.

Religious Education begins at Baptism and is nurtured in the home. It is an on-going process of growth and development. Religious Education is meant to relate to the student's daily life. Together, with you the parents, we will help each student discover their knowledge of God and their relationship to Him.

We provide classes from kindergarten to 11th grade. Sacramental programs require a two-yeat attendance.
