What is Religious Education at Saint Luke?
Religious Education is a faith formation program for the youth of our parish. This ministry passed on the basic message of Christianity and proclaims the Good News in a timely voice that invites the response of our youth. Our program is centered on family catechesis; parental participation is encouraged.
Weekly classroom instruction based on biblical & canonical teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church are provided during the school year to help the young recognize and appreciate their membership in our faith community. IN addition, Vacation Bible School, retreats, special service and social activities throughout the year promote Christian development.
