Our parish offers comprehensive programs to parishioners of different ages and need:

• Religious Education instructs public school children in their Catholic faith throughout their years in elementary school and prepares them for the reception of the Sacraments.
• Children’s Liturgy of the Word, for children ages 4 to 9, is presented at the Sunday Family Mass at 9AM. Periodically, the Children’s Choir performs the music at this Mass.
• Children’s Catechumenate prepares older students for the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Communion). There are informal adult meetings (gathering sessions) designed to develop the spirituality of parents and parish adults through Scripture and conversation.
• Order of Christian Initiation for Adults (OCIA, formerly RCIA)
