St. Canice Catholic Church

Religious Education Ministry

The St. canice School of Religion emphasizes that all life is sacred. That children should be taught to know and worship God and to Love their neighbor. (Mark 12:31)

The religious education program offers instruction to children in kindergarten through eight grade or second year Confirmation Sacrament (not limited to grade level). We are commited to sharing and celebrating liturgy and prayer, expiriencing our church community and reaching out in service for others. In our caring, nurturing environment we enable students to grow in Love of God and integrity through the tradition, teachings, philosphy, and practices of the Roman Catholic Faith.

About Religious Education - RE

We believe that parents/guardians are the primary cathechists, teachers of their children; through example and instruction, they show them the value and beauty of faith lived as part of our daily lives.

Our religoious education program will assist the parents/guardians in a stimulating character development faith based environment, helping one antoher to live lives committed to Christ by recognizing our responsibility to build a better world.

Through weekly Sunday mass attendance and religious education, sutdents learn to live their faith.

At age appropriate times in the religious process, students are introduced to the truths of our faith woven into the creed; the sacramental life in the church; morlas within The Ten Commandments; life in Christ; and prayer.

Our Commitment

To treat the students, priests, teachers and all volunteers with respect. To listen to each student as they learn along with their ideas during discussions.
