Parish School of Religion

Coordinator: Joshua Danis

Welcome to St. Paul’s Parish School of Religion! This is a religious education program for students in Preschool through Grade 12 and Young Adults. Our purpose is to make each student’s faith in Jesus Christ become living, conscious, and active, through the light of instruction. While aiming to enrich the faith life of individual students at their particular stages of development, our catechesis is also oriented to the parents and families of our students.

Our program has four components:
A) Preschool-Kindergarten – during 11:00 A.M. Sunday Mass
B) Grades 1- 6 – 9:30 to 10:45 A.M. on Sundays
C) Grades 7&8 Youth Ministry –9:30 to 10:45 A.M. on Sundays
D) High School / Young Adult Youth Ministry –6:00 PM or 9:00 AM (alternating) on Sundays
