Working with a pastoral staff person, this committee helps identify and implement programs that promote and support lifelong formation and education needs throughout the parish. The committee also ensures these programs are developed cooperatively with the school.
This committee, in accord with applicable archdiocesan agencies, recommends and supports programs in religious education, catechesis, young adult ministry, youth ministry, adult formation, and the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults for the parish.
The committee keeps current with related issues in the areas of catechesis and education and studies available resources on how adults learn.
Outcomes that concern this committee include:
• Emphasis on lifelong formation and education for children, youth, young adults, and adults
• Spiritual growth is available through large gatherings and in small faith-sharing groups.
• Parishioners are educated on the principles of Catholic social and moral teaching.
• Outreach to non-practicing Catholics and the unchurched.
• High quality K-12 religious education program is provided for children.
• Presence of an active youth ministry program. -

Because sacraments are so important, the Catholic Church has specific rules and procedures, so we want to make sure that you understand what we will ask of you and your family. Find out more through the links below.
