We would like to thank our catechists for volunteering their time and talents to teach our young people the faith. Graciously, many answered the call to serve as teachers in our Religious Education Program. Some are brand new, here for the first year, while others are going on their fourth decade. No matter the grade you have or the number of years you have been here, we are most grateful for all you are doing! God bless you!
