“I call us to be servant leaders who are people of the WORD, preaching, teaching, evangelizing and cherishing the Gospel message throughout our entire lives.”

Classes are held in the church hall for all students in Preschool through 8th grade on Sunday mornings at 8:30AM. Students then attend the 9:30AM Mass. First/Second grade prepares for First Reconciliation / First Holy Communion and Seventh/Eighth grade prepares for Confirmation.
Our teachers and aides make learning the Catholic faith interesting and fun. We even have special Sundays with crafts, activities, music and games!
