Life Long Faith Formation
Mission
The mission of St. Theresa Religious Education programs is to help children and young adults to develop a loving relationship with our Heavenly Father and to enable them to carry on their Catholic faith as disciples and witnesses of Jesus Christ.
Goals
- To help support parents in their role as the primary educators of the Faith for their children.
-To teach the Great Commandment as Jesus did; to love God with our whole heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
-To teach the importance of daily prayer and to help students open their hearts to Gods presence in their lives.
-To develop a strong sense of belonging to the parish family, as evidenced by participation in Sunday Mass and other church activities.
- To teach the Truths and Faith of our Catholic Church and to encourage them to live a life in accordance with these Truths.
- To provide an interactive and cooperative learning experience for our students that will encourage our students to want to know, love and serve the Lord.
-To prepare children and their families to receive the Sacraments.
