Religious Education

The religious education office facilitates information, training, retreats, support and fellowship, especially for those who teach in or administer parish religious education/PRE programs.

The office of religious education would like to encourage all Catechists to become certified through the diocese.  Certification has one purpose and that is to promote the highest training and formation of teachers and catechists who teach religion in our classrooms at all levels of education.

This purpose can best be realized in a twofold manner. First, by giving recognition and support to teachers and catechists who have made a continuing effort over the years to be well informed and renewed in their faith, as they engage in the teaching ministry. Second, by challenging catechists to further their education, formation and higher levels of competency through the establishment of certain standards and criteria.

Whether one is an experienced teacher and catechist of several years or a beginning teacher, certification promotes growth and development and provides a structure for the recognition of such.

TOTUS TUUS is a summer Catholic catechetical program for youth to help them evangelize and teach the faith of our Church.  The aim is to help all youth develop their relationship with Jesus Christ.  TOTUS TUUS is a catechesis program that is brought to the parishes...for children in 1st through the 12th grade.  Children have the opportunity for Mass everyday, confession, adoration, and they get to learn about their faith in a fun and engaging way.  This is done through the witness and example of the college aged team members.

The theme for this year is “Infinite Possibilities are of Faith”.
