Welcome
The Sts. Peter and Paul Religious Education program strives to respond to the Church's commission "to put people not only in touch, but also in communion and intimacy, with Jesus Christ (#80) and "to encourage a living, explicit and fruitful profession of faith" (#66) by promoting "knowledge of the faith", "liturgical education", "moral formation", "teaching to pray", "education fo rthe community life", and to "our missionary call" (#85-86) (from the General Directory for Catechesis)
We offer a wide variety of programs to accomplish these goals. Last year nearly 1200 youth, 730 in the elementary, over 170 in the Junior High and nearly 300 in the High School) participated in the programs and some 200 adults were participating in weekly studies. In addition parent sessions, Family Days, retreat opportunities and Vacation Bible School allowed many others take time to grow in our faith. We hope in the coming year you and your family can be part of the program in some way.
