To provide a solid foundation of the Catholic faith through a catechetical program that focuses on the pillars of the Catechism, love of God, being a disciple of Christ,  building a faith community, spiritual growth, and living the Gospel daily through outreach.

 Catechesis is a responsibility of the entire Christian community. This is should not be the work of catechists and priests alone, but of the whole community of the faithful. The Christian community follows the development of catechetical processes, for children, young people and adults, as a duty that involves and binds it directly. (GDC 220) A fully Christian community can exist only when a systematic catechesis of all its members takes place and when an effective and well developed catechesis of adults is regarded as the central task of the catechetical enterprise.” (ACCC, no. 25).

 Parents are first and foremost the primary witnesses of the faith to their children.  “Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children…Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith” (CCC §2223, 2226).  The parish catechetical program’s mission is to assist parents in this task.  This task is accomplished in a three-fold manner: Mass, catechesis, and modeling Christian life at home.
