Our Mission
Our Mission
Parents are the primary educators of their children. Our mission is to support and help parents as they teach their children the Catholic faith, forming them as disciples of Christ.
The faith is "caught not taught." What children learn and experience in the Faith Formation classroom is meant to reinforce the faith they are "catching" from their parents and be a springboard for further growth. It is expected that our students are attending Mass every week and on Holy Days with their family. They cannot learn the faith and how to be disciples of Christ if they are not living the faith with their family.
Our catechists look forward to helping you pass the faith on to your children. Throughout the Liturgical Year, we provide opportunities for families to learn and grow in faith, to worship with each other and the faith community of St. Patrick's Parish.
We also offer a Youth Ministry program for our students.
