St. Theresa look upon religious education as a total parish experience involving not just the child but also parents, families, catechists, priests and deacons that form our parish community of faith.
We believe that religious education is getting to know Jesus and learning what is expected of one who chooses to follow him in the Catholic tradition.
Our program reflects an integrated learning experience, composed of learning, catechesis, prayer, sacramental preparation, traditional catholic doctrine, biblical studies, liturgy, community building and other dimensions of vibrant church life.
Through the light of faith, we hope to develop in those entrusted to our care a deeper relationship with God.
