RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The Religious Education Program serves the families of our Parish as well as the surrounding community for those children enrolled in public school. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing atmosphere in which to share our Catholic Faith and Christian values. We also prepare students to receive the Sacraments of our faith.
Mission Statement
Our parish Religious Education is a partnership between our parish and parents of the children we teach. Our goal is to support each family in the spiritual development of their child(ren). All children are welcome at Saint James and we look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to our parish program.
This partnership works best when we work together, each doing our part to ensure the children are receiving the foundation they need to develop a life-long relationship with Jesus Christ. Together, we are one family, one Body of Christ, and a true sign of His presence in our world.
