Middle School Religious Education
Growing in Faith, Together.
A welcoming place for students and families to discover Christ, grow in Catholic faith, and serve our community.
"Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe."— 1 Timothy 4:12
Our middle school religious education program supports young people as they deepen their relationship with Jesus and learn to live as disciples. We partner with parents and catechists to create meaningful experiences of prayer, learning, service, and community.
