Curriculum Information
We use the Finding God bilingual textbook series from Loyola Press to help families integrate the rites and traditions of the Catholic Faith into their daily lives and raise awareness that the life of the Church is in our homes, our schools and workplaces, in the life of our communities, and in the world.
​Sacramental Preparation
All the children of our parish, whether they participate in our Religious Education Program or attend our parish school, Pope John XXIII, or another Catholic school, come together with their families through the parish religious education program to prepare to celebrate the sacraments of First Reconciliation, First Communion and Confirmation.
