MARRIAGE
We believe that a broad marriage preparation program provides the best atmosphere for an engaged couple to prepare for their life together.   Couples are asked to contact the priest or deacon one-year in advance.

 

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
We offer a comprehensive program for all public school children grades K-8.  The goal of our program is to assist the parents, who are the primary educators of our children, in deepening their child’s spiritual development.  This goal is accomplished using many mediums including formal classroom instruction, retreats, parent meetings, and liturgical celebrations.  Classes meet weekly Sept – May. Mass attendance is necessary for good formation and is expected. For information contact
